In "Mythology and STEAM," students embark on an interdisciplinary journey that merges the rich tapestry of Greek mythology with the dynamic fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). Through engaging projects, they explore the scientific principles behind mythical creatures, design innovative engineering solutions inspired by ancient inventions, and create art and storytelling rooted in timeless myths.
We started our Greek Mythology unit by locating Greece on Google Earth and then completing a map of ancient Greece. After that students located the parthenon in Athens and used their creativity to make a model of the parthenon.
Students had a choice of a Greek Olympian to research and created a poster that included the following: role of god or goddess, symbols, where they are found, important powers, physical and personality traits and roman name. These posters will serve as a reference for our unit throughout the school year.
