November STREAM Project

November STREAM PROJECT
This year, students will work on month long projects that reflect the current theme in all six areas of STREAM (Science, Tech, 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, Nov. 20th
(MUST FOLLOW & COMPLETE ALL SIX STEPS/AREAS for FULL CREDIT)


1. Technology
Research a topic from this month, find 12 facts
Using the internet, books, etc. look for twelve facts about one or more of the topics we are learning about this month (Big Hero 6 inventions, robotics, NASA programs, stars, galaxies, Technology featured in Hunger Games such as hovercrafts, etc.)

Reading/Writing
Write your 12 facts onto the templates provided
Using your best handwriting (or type/print and glue them on) put one fact on each of the pentagons on your template.  BUT make sure to save some space for step 3 and 4 on each pentagon.

Arts
Decorate your 12 pentagons
Using any art materials you have (paint, washi tape, markers, crayons, etc.)  illustrate each of your 12 facts with a picture that represents the fact.  You may cut out images or hand draw them.  Add one picture on each of the pentagon templates.

4. Science
Label each pentagon fact with the Scientific branch/area related to it
Write what branch(es) of science the fact is related to using the information on the following website : http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0881984.html
Example- A Robotic arm would involve Biology (Medicine) and Physical (Physics)

5. Math
Cut out the 12 decorated and labeled pentagons
Using scissors cut your template circles out and fold all the edges to create your 12 pentagons.

6. Engineering
Attach your pentagons together to create the dodecahedron (12 sided three dimensional shape)
Using glue or paste, use the folded tabs to put all of your pentagons together to create the 12 sided three-dimensional figure called a dodecahedron.

LABEL YOUR WORK WITH YOUR NAME & TURN IN YOUR COMPLETED DODECAHEDRON ON/OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 20th 2014
