STEM Courses
STEM ELA
STEM ELA
This course will target students’ growth in the areas of reading, writing, editing, listening, speaking, discussion, and reflection. Reading strategies, critical thinking skills, and vocabulary building comprise the main elements of reading instructions. Through fiction, nonfiction, and poetry reading, students will practice reading strategies and comprehension skills. The focus of writing will be on narrative, informational, argumentative, and research writing. The overall goal of the class is to increase literacy, grade level appropriate vocabulary, and the writing ability of students.
Integrated STEM
Integrated STEM
The Integrated STEM Class encourages students to use inquiry based and problem solving approaches to understand science and engineering principles. By combining traditional science concepts (life science, biology, and environmental sciences) with the application of these concepts through engineering and technology, students will gain a greater understanding of the world around them. Collaborative, student-centered lessons and cooperative learning is essential throughout this course. Students will use evidence as a basis for analysis of data and arguments. Emphasis is on the integration of knowledge from a variety of resources and effective communication of an understanding of this knowledge to meet the performance expectations.
7th Grade STEM Related Arts
This engineering course is designed for students who are interested in electricity and 3D design. Students will learn how to sculpt, texture, arrange, and render 3D models in preparation for 3D printing as well as the basics of electricity and circuitry. In this interactive and hands-on course, students will work on collaborative projects in a 3D environment following the engineering design process in programs such as TinkerCAD and OnShape.
This computer science course is designed for students who want to learn about computer science through the creative process of how video games are designed and developed, from the moment they are conceived to after they are published. Students will be introduced to the game design process, elements of game play, game documentation, and coding. Students will design and code their own games using block coding programs in this interactive and hands-on course.
This physical education course is designed for students who are interested in health related fields. Students in this course will explore topics related to sports medicine, such as nutrition, anatomy, biomechanics, and exercise physiology in this interactive and hands-on course. Students will also learn about human body systems and how they work to better understand injuries that may occur as well as ways to prevent injury.
8th Grade STEM Related Arts
Students learn how to apply green concepts to the fields of architecture and construction. They explore dimensioning, measuring, and architectural sustainability and apply what they have learned to design affordable housing units using Autodesk’s® 3D architectural design software.
Through the development of mobile applications, students will be continue to explore the field of computer science and computational thinking while building on their javascript block coding skills. Students will work collaboratively to design and develop creative and innovative mobile applications, analyze real-time senosr data, and build physical prototypes for hardware based programming.
Students play the role of real-life medical detectives as they collect and analyze medical data to diagnose disease. They solve medical mysteries through hands-on projects and labs, measure and interpret vital signs, examine nervous system structure and function, investigate disease outbreaks, and explore how a breakdown within the human body can lead to dysfunction.
