When Professional Development School faculty (PDSF) work with teacher candidates (TSs) and a SUNY Buffalo State professor (BSCP), fifth grade students learn (SL) how chemistry and physics influence an engineering project The content of this presentation explains how a summer conference idea from a Lake Shore 1st grade and 5th grade teacher and elementary principal led to the development and implementation of a STEM unit. In the fall 2015—spring 2016 semesters, Buffalo State teacher candidates and a math/science methods professor planned the unit and tried out the lessons.
When the unit was ready, a 5th-grade teacher, a Buffalo State TC, and the college professor taught STEM unit lessons to 5th graders and helped them engineer “squishy,” electric circuits that sent messages over a distance using light.
Presenters: Dr. Christopher Shively, Mary Brumagin, and Jill Clark
