After reading about communicable and non-communicable diseases in, either in your health curriculum and/or using the provided informational text, students visit patient charts as ‘doctors’ making diagnosis. Students refer to their reading and record their findings on their doctor notes page. I say this several times during the year, but this is one of my favorite activities we do!

I recently had another opportunity to observe a science program in an after school setting, this time at Greenleaf Elementary School in Oakland, CA. The rising fifth graders have an hour and a half of STEM programming after lunch every afternoon, and the day I visited they did an activity about cleaning up oil in the ocean. They worked with trays filled a few inches with water, feathers, straws, cotton balls and sponges. I think it's especially challenging to lead activities like this, where the materials you have to work with are analogies of what really happens in the real world. I was impressed with the ways the facilitator drew connections between the activity they were doing and what happens in the real world. The facilitator started the activity by asking the kids what they already knew about oil spills. I was struck by how many hands went in the air, and details the kids knew including the catastrophic spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The group discussed what kinds of engineers help solve the environmental problems caused by oil spills - chemical and environmental engineers. In groups, the kids examined their 'oceans' of water, with oil floating on top. They discussed and wrote observations in their science notebooks. The facilitator introduced some terms and definitions and then passed out materials the kids would use to try to clean up the oil. As kids formulated their plans for working together to get the oil off the feathers and out of the 'ocean', the facilitator passed around photos of actual oil spills and the effects they have on wildlife. Then it was time to work together to figure out how to use materials to clean up the oil. During the discussion after the activity, the kids all said that they enjoyed this activity even though it was very difficult to get all the oil out of the water and off of the feathers. In order to help kids make connections between the science activities we do after school and science in the real world, here are some things we see quality programs doing: Ask kids what they already know about related issues Show kids pictures, news articles or videos Introduce kids to a scientist who works on the problem in the field Take a field trip Participate in a citizen science project to help a scientist conduct a study on a related issue Let us know some ways that your after school science program connects kids to real world science!

This was an after school program that I put on for kids at my library. I've been seeing this STEM activity floating around the internet for a while now. And I'm SO glad we finally did it here at our library! It was a hit with our after school crowd. I initially used the idea from this blog and the instructions found here. But, of course, I did some of my own tweaks so here's my little tutorial... Here are the basic materials that I collected for attendees. Every kid got one plastic cup, one motor, and one AA battery. It was helpful to find motors that already had the wires soldered on. I used the bulk option found on this website. I bought a few large packs of markers, and each kid got to pick three or four for their creation. Colored masking tape was also made available. Other decorations included stickers, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes. Popsicle sticks, clothes pins, and other odd scraps provided some weight and wiggle to get our bots to move. As you'll see in a second... First up, taping some markers to the cup, point down: Next, attaching the motor and battery to the top of the cup. Just make sure that the motor's axle is hanging off so it can spin and that the wires can reach the battery. I taped one wire to the end of the battery. Now, it's ready to experiment with some weight on the motor (the clothespin here) and add some decorations. When it's all ready to go, the caps come off the markers and the other wire gets taped to the other end of the battery. Really, I should just show you what the kids made. So cool! The paper on our tables were thoroughly scribbled by the end of the hour's activity. Some of the kids did have trouble with the wires and getting them to stay stuck, so we did have some electrical tape on hand. It was a great STEM-based activity because, while I gave them the basic set up, it was up to them to figure out what worked well for propulsion, weight distribution, and marker set up. It was a big success!
