October STREAM Project

October STREAM PROJECT

This year, students will work on month long projects that reflect the current theme in all six areas of STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics)

K and grade 1 students may have parent help with the writing elements for the projects (grades 2-6 should write their own)

ALL Projects DUE BY: THURSDAY, OCT. 30th  

(MUST FOLLOW & COMPLETE ALL SIX STEPS/AREAS for FULL CREDIT)

1. Technology

Ellison Machine Cube Cutting  

While in the Arts Lab this month, students will bring in thier own colorful paper they wish to use for this project.  (Cardstock works the best).  While in class, students will use their paper to cut out small two-dimensional (flat) cube templates that they can then transform and fold into three-dimensional cubes.

2. Engineering

Attach your cubes together to create something

Using your cubes you cut out in Arts Lab, fold them, and use tacky glue/ rubber cement/ duct tape to attach them together to make a three dimensional creation.  You may want to make a sketch/ blueprint of your design before putting it together.  You also may want to decorate your cubes before they are folded.  The design of the creation can be Minecraft based (Steve, a Creeper, A pig, pickaxes, Forest trees, Endermen, etc) or one of your own design.  

3. Arts

Decorate your cubes/creation

Using any art materials you have (paint, washi tape, markers/chalk, etc.)  decorate your three-dimensional design.  

4. Math, 5. Science, & 6. Reading

Fill out attached INFORMATION SHEET for these three areas.  

Using your three-dimensional engineered creation to help fill out the back of this sheet.
