STEAM, STEM, or Project Based Learning—this project is perfect for kids of the 21st-century! Students design, describe, and write about their own original "app." Then they draw the logo they create on a post-it-note and then attach the post-it-notes to a group "tablet" poster (that they also make). This is a big hit with kids because it speaks their language and allows for creativity. Let the independent, creative thinker in your students shine with this contemporary art integration lesson! Also check out my "Famous Faces" of STE(A)M poster that could add some added inspiration to your classroom! Each student has to "develop" their own "app"—give it a name, describe what it does, etc.—and then design a logo. I have included templates and worksheets to help your students work through this process, including developing a storyboard for their app. This makes your students think! Then, to show their creation off, they draw their app logo onto post-it notes which are then added to a large (21" x 28") classroom tablet poster. The poster holds 24 post-it notes but can be extended to have more (up to 32). This project allows students to be creative, think for themselves, and is current and relevant to living in the 21st-Century! A perfect way to integrate art into your curriculum. You will get the complete set of instructions on how to teach this lesson, including examples. You get the "iDesign an App" handout as well as the "App Preview" handout. You get all the poster pieces to create a 21" x 28" tablet poster for app logos. The exact size of your iPad poster will depend on your printer settings. Be sure to select "fit to page." I have also included an extension row to the poster so you can add up to 32 apps, depending on how big or small your class is.

Do you want to get started with project based learning, but you’re not sure how? Maybe project based learning sounds too complicated, in-depth, and overwhelming to you? That’s how I felt when I first delved into PBL. But now I know there is nothing to be afraid of! In this post, I will give a quick explanation of project-based learning and then give you some tips and ideas to begin to implement it in your own classroom. What is Project Based Learning? Project based learning, simply stated, is an authentic learning experience
*Google Slides and Print Option* *Rubric Added!* About this Product This product came as a result of my students’ love of the biography series “Who Was…?” If you have not looked into this series, I recommend that you do! They are a fun, easy read that offers an engaging way for students to learn about historical figures and important people. Although this product is based on this series, this product could be used for any biography book or project. This is a nice way to integrate Reading, Writing, and Social Studies.🛑 Are you a member of the TLL Membership? These materials are already included. If you are not a member, click here to learn more. The TLL Membership gives you an all-access pass to hundreds of ELA resources for teachers in Grades 3-5. How I Used this Product In my 3rd Grade classroom, I used multiple copies of the same book or books and paired students in partnerships. In my school, we have a 30 minute Reading Intervention Block. I began this project with students who were not pulled out or working with me in small groups during this time. This was a nice way for students to work independently or in partnerships. It also created an extension for what they could already do as readers. Plus, they had so much fun! I let them work on this project in their partnerships. This held several benefits. Many students who were not pulled out or working in small groups tend to be higher level students OR students who have untapped potential. Allowing them to work on a project like this can extend their learning, as well as find new ways to enjoy reading. While other students had special groups or went to see other teachers, it was nice for these students to have their own project too. The Poster Page is a template that you could use for students to turn in with the essay or you could use this as a planning page and then have students create a larger poster on their own. I assigned it as homework and was pleasantly surprised at what my students turned in. I saw a wonderful increase in engagement by students who had shown little motivation or enthusiasm for reading. You can see the photos in the preview or in the product itself. Please know I updated the pages after the photos were taken with more detail and provided the poster template.

This is a corner-to-corner (c2c) graphgan based off the television show FRIENDS. This is a crochet-a-long (CAL) that ran from January 2017-May 2017. This was designed as a c2c blanket, but you will find others that will be using HDC, DC, SC, tunisian, and bobble stitch. The original layout of this blanket includes a banner and squares (and rectangles) of varying size. Each panel is worked individually and then joined together at the end. There are different placement options for the panels included in this CAL so you can assemble your final product however you wish. I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn and a 4.5mm crochet hook, and a mini c2c stitch. Exact yardage is unknown, but using the original layout, only one of each color listed is needed with the exception of black and white (you will need several of each). Panel patterns were released every Monday. Upon purchasing this pattern, you will receive the official closed Facebook group for those that will be doing this CAL with us (the link will be in the PDF here on Ravelry). Though the CAL is over, the FB group will remain open for those that have purchased the pattern as access to MEMBER CREATED PANELS are available only through that group. Can’t wait to see you there! P.S. I used a custom FRIENDS ergonomic crochet hook made by Harper Baby Shop for this CAL. You can find her here (more information in the FAQs file of the pattern): https://www.instagram.com/harperbabyshop/

We were set in a group, mixing all pathways and given a brief with the word "Kinetic", we were free to respond to this how we liked.I’ve really enjoyed the project and am really pleased with the outcome. We made a battery-controlled mechanism that spins Thaumatropes with a touch of a button, we based this on a Victorian fair/circus and themed it "Trick Or Treat". We mixed both "naughty" and "nice" imagery and you should use the device to find out which it was. We had a few technical set backs but produced what we wanted to a high quality by the deadline and worked as a team well. After completing the spinning device we create a display box to view it in, based on Victorian Punch and Judy. We them decarated it and a box to fit the discs to match. The final piece, box with discs and posters. My Thaumatrope discs:
Project based learning has been a part of teaching forever. It’s nothing new, but we’ve seen a resurgence within the past few years and it's a buzzword we all like to use. I get quite a few questions from teachers asking how they can start and what they can try. That’s why I’ve put together some of my favorite tips for getting started and what to expect when you decide to take the plunge…and I think you should. Sure, some of these might be simple, but they're worth repeating and thinking about. Pick a Topic You Like If you’re excited about a topic, there’s a pretty good chance your students will be too. That’s why I suggest finding a topic you really like. Maybe you want to do something that involves animals or building/designing a city. Whatever it is, make sure you’re invested. Your students will follow your lead. Full article here. Start Small To Find Your Comfort Zone When it comes to PBL in your class—do what makes you most comfortable. This might mean beginning with a small project or just a sample with your students. No one knows your classroom better than you and no one knows your teaching better than you. Don’t worry about scale, length of time, and complexity. Just start small and find your comfort zone. Full article here. Paper Projects Are Excellent Options Sometimes the best PBL only includes paper. Sometimes all the problem solving, designing, and hard work is contained on a couple of sheets of paper. It can be simple. Many of the PBLs I create use this paper-based frame work because it works well in the classroom. Ease-of-use is your friend. Full article here. Students design a zoo using while focusing on area and perimeter. See It Here. Use Materials You Already Have Make it simple on yourself and focus on using classroom materials that are readily at your disposal. Do not go and buy the latest gadgets or drop a hundred bucks at Target. Most simple PBLs can be conquered with classroom items, a little ingenuity, and the recycle bin. Let Go (of some control) Ana and Elsa are correct—Let it go. You’ll have to give up some of the control. You can’t control every aspect of PBLs because each student (or group) will have different results. This doesn’t mean it’s classroom chaos—it just means we have to hand the reins over to the students. Let them learn how to learn. Be Open-Ended With The Students Many times students will want definitive answers for EVERYTHING! I tell my students that if they ask me what they can do (within a project) I will always say “YES”. I don't like to limit options and thinking. Too many times kids are told to hide their imagination inside (sadly)—not with PBL. This can be difficult concept for kids (which make sad), but we're working on it. Share Awesome Ideas With Your Class When You See Or Hear One When I walk around the room checking in (and spying) I hear and see the coolest things and thinking taking place. Those ideas need to be shared with everyone. All the kids need to hear about them because it'll spark other students' imagination. It might seem simple—but it works. Kids need to use each other as jumping-off points, without always having to rely on teachers. A third grade class created an entire city using only geometry skills, paper, glue, and scissors. See Geometrocity here. Include All Levels Of Learners Project Based Learning IS NOT just for talented and gifted students. It's for EVERYONE! In fact, I’d argue it’s just as important for lower leveled learners. Why is that, you ask? Well, many of our struggling learners have learned incredible strategies for staying afloat in the classroom. They apply these same strategies here and it works in an incredible way. These projects are incredible engagement tools for reluctant/hesitant learners. Multimedia is the Best Hook Videos, images, music, Netflix, YouTube--use them all. Show students the multiple avenues of ways to learn. These are all hooks for the students and they love them. When my students build their ski resorts, I like to show them an 8 minute movie on ski resorts around the world. They are amazed and excited to start. When we learn about the rainforest I play an 11 hour loop of jungle sounds (found on Youtube). It’s filled with rain showers, buzzing bugs, monkeys playing the in trees. Get Physically Comfortable When Working Let students move wherever they need to in the classroom. Floor, tables, small groups. A quiet room means NO ONE is really learning/discussing/collaborating. I want my kids intermingling, sharing ideas, and stealing ideas to create better ones. Those are some of my top tips for getting started. If you have questions, just let me know. Or if you’re a just a fan of PBLs, I’d love to hear what you do. To see more just click the images below.

I keep coming back to this flattering, wearable shape. It’s fun to knit, easy to seam, and I just love wearing these comfy, loose pullovers with a shirt tail peeking out beneath the hem. Fernet Branca features a simple textured block motif, bookended by bold ribs and cables on either side of the body. My favorite part of this design might just be how those panels meet under the arms. On the back of the sweater, I added a central spine and changed the cable panels just a bit to keep things interesting. Then I designed the neckline so the sweater can be worn with either side facing front, so feel free to flip it depending on your mood! It’s reversible! Plus there’s this YARN. I’ve been waiting impatiently to work in Green Mt Spinnery’s Weekend Wool for a while now, and it did not disappoint. The color, the stitch defnition, and the soft, round fiber are spot on. When I first swatched these motifs in the Pine Warbler, my heart kind of skipped a beat -- and I didn’t put the needles back down until it was done. As always, I’ve added a few notes to the pattern about modifications for your own body, and there will be thread in my BabyCocktails group for knitting along or any questions that come up! Yardage By Size: Sizes: 38.5(39.5,42.25,44.25,46)(49.5,53,56.75,58.25,61,67)”/ 97.75(100.25, 107.25,112.5,116.75)(125.75,134.5,144,148 ,155,170.25)cm based on sweater circumference around body at bust. For fit shown, choose the size that allows for 5-6”/12.75-15.75cm of positive ease at bust. Or choose the size that gives you the amount of ease you prefer in your sweaters. Yardage: 1000(1100,1200,1300,1350) (1450,1575,1675,1800,1950,2100)yds 915(1005,1100,1190,1235) (1325,1440,1535,1650,1785,1920)m If substituting yarn, I suggest a nice round worsted or a heavy worsted weight wool. Tweeds, heathers or solids will be beautiful and show off the pattern well. Sweater is knit from the bottom up in 4 pieces (front, back, sleeves) and seamed at shoulders, underarm and sides. Seams are straight and simple. Cables are both charted and written. Color Shown: Pine Warbler

Would you like to play a game? Gameplay is huge these days from video games, a resurgence in board games, group outings to escape rooms, and breakout games. BUT instead of playing the game, what if your students design their own escape room? ***THIS RESOURCE IS NOW DIGITAL for DISTANCE LEARNING*** See below for more details on using it with Google Slides. Build Your Own Escape Room does just that. It turns students into the game makers! Students get to design and build a 3D ESCAPE ROOM and develop a game simulation where players must solve math problems to escape the room. This project based learning activity focuses on designing using multiple academic elements, using problem solving skills, and collaborating in the classroom. It allows for easy differentiation, so students can work at a pace they will be successful at. This PBL is highly interchangeable and can be differentiated between levels and concepts with individual students or as a whole classroom. Teachers have complete control and can use portions of this or the entire resource. -This PBL can be used to support ANY concept or skill students are working on. For example: If the class is doing a unit on fractions the students would be asked to write math problems about FRACTIONS. Teachers and users will need to decide what concepts they want students to create problems for (and solve). -Or use the Alternate version to apply and understand AREA and Perimeter. There a TWO versions: -The GAME version: This version DOES NOT work on specific concepts. Teachers are allowed to choose which concepts they want students to create math problems for (and solve). This means this PBL can be used throughout the math curriculum. It can be used to review concepts, show student understanding, and even as a form of assessment. For example: If the class is doing a unit on fractions the students would be asked to write math problems about FRACTIONS. Standard version (Math game play) -Use pages 9-46. -If you’re printing but don’t want to include all the instructions (which you could project instead) use pages 9, 12, 14-19, 21-24 (or 25-27), 30-34, 38-46. -The ALTERNATE version: Focuses on area, perimeter, and geometry. Use this version to build and apply those concepts and skills. Alternate EXTRA (Area, Perimeter, & Writing only) -In this order use pages 9, 48, 14-19, 28-39, 49-57. DO THE WHOLE THING -Use pages 9-46, 49-57 -If you’re printing but don’t want to include all the instructions (which you could project instead) use pages 9, 12, 14-19, 21-24 (or 25-27), 30-34, 38-46, 50-57. With this resource students WILL CREATE a miniature 3D version of an escape room. The sizes of the room will all be the same, but each student will create a unique version based on their own ideas, imagination, and application of skills. Students design a room that contains ten or more different pieces of furnishings (all in one place) and each piece has a correlating math problem (also created by the student). The math problems will vary based on teacher choice or by choosing the area and perimeter version. This PBL includes extensions ideas, STEM opportunities, and art elements.

Project-Based Learning for a Unique Hatchet Novel Study Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen, is a classic survival story that resonates with tweens and teens alike. It lends itself well as a middle school read aloud or book club choice, and offers ample project-based learning activities so that your students can experience Brian's adventures right alongside him. I have read and reread this book multiple times, each time exploring ways to make this book really come alive for kids. While there are many possibilities for STEM challenges, I have narrowed it down to three building challenges that can be done either full scale or small scale. If you can get out in nature to do this it will make even more of an impact and give the kids a real feel for what it might be like to solve problems with items found in nature.

Your purchase helps support my work in bringing you downloads of value and information about educational resources. The link below is an Amazon affiliate link. You can read my full disclosure here. I also wanted to make sure to add in some math and science activities that could have helped Brian in his isolation. **Spoiler Alert** If you have not yet read this book, you may want to stop here. I will be referring to several happenings in the book, so be forewarned. How Far Off Course Could Brian Have Gotten? When we aren't yet too far into the book, and Brian has successfully survived the first leg of his adventure (crash landing), he at first thinks a search and rescue team will find him before long. At one point, though, he realizes that he could be quite far off course of his original flight path. How far off course? This is the first exercise in the Hatchet STEM resource I created to accompany this book. The page shown above is one of three options so that kids can work at the level that is appropriate for them. Brian quickly realizes he needs a shelter, so the first STEM challenge is to create a lean-to shelter. Design a Shelter for Brian STEM Challenge for Hatchet This one is amazing to do outside if possible! It can be quite challenging to create one that will hold up to weather and animals. In addition to shelter, the other main important survival issue is food. Can you design and create a bow? Design a Bow for Brian Hatchet STEM Activity The bow ties in nicely to two science experiments, springs and refraction (when Brian tries to catch the fish but they are at a different location than they appear). Science Activities for the book Hatchet For these, I created a simple Hooke's Law experiment that you can do with springs or rubber bands to measure the deflection of a spring and calculate the spring constant, and then a refraction experiment to explore how light bends through water. Measure the Deflection of a Spring for Hooke's Law For the Hooke's Law experiment, measure the deflection of a spring depending on the weight applied. You can do this as I've shown above, hanging a spring off a craft stick supported be two cardboard tubes. Explore Refraction of Light Science Activity For the refraction, use a laser pointer to shine a light on graph paper or a coordinate plane, record the results, then place a glass of water in the line of the laser light and see where the light lands. The final STEM challenge ties in to the end of the book when the plane's tail becomes visible and Brian seeks out the survival pack in the plane. Design a Raft STEM Activity for Brian in the Read Aloud Hatchet Design and create a raft: In addition to the challenges, there are engineering vocabulary cards and background information to go with the challenges. Another great challenge to do after this one is to create an FM receiver/radio. It could be fun to create a transmitter too, but likely not a good idea based on local laws in your area. You can find a few simple FM radio kits, such as this Snap Circuits one (which I favor, because you can build and rebuild it over and over): or this one from WeMake if you are doing this as a homeschool project or group science fair project: I hope you can use some of these activity ideas while studying Hatchet.

I love the whole idea of project-based learning! The idea of addressing all subject areas in the context of one project makes so much sense, and allows for better real-life application. I had dabbled in PBL a little bit, but never to the extent of this project, in which I asked students to design a zoo. This was the perfect project for the end of our strange traditional-turned-virtual school year, and the kids really took it and ran with it! They were able to complete it at their own pace, collaborating with their families, and it went so well that I'm already planning to use it again next year when we're (hopefully) back in the traditional classroom. While the task of designing a zoo sounds monumental, I broke it down into individual tasks for my students. Differentiation was easy as I gave families the freedom of doing more or less than suggested for each task, depending on the needs of their child and family. (Let's face it, crisis schooling is not the same as homeschooling; I know some families just didn't have time to go all-out on a project, and that's okay!) Using this in the traditional classroom will make for easy differentiation, too, and I've included teacher tips for both higher and lower lever learners for each task in the download which is available here in my store! This project includes all of the subjects and many first grade standards. First, students select animals to include in their zoo and conduct research on them, making notes about what they eat, what kind of climate they need, and more. Next, they design the habitats based on their research, and create a plaque for each animal exhibit. They work on mapping skills as they create a map of their zoo, and coding as they then use their map to give directions to popular destinations. Math is integrated as they come up with prices for tickets and extra amenities they included in their zoo, and also as they set a feeding schedule for their animals. After all of that work is done, they get to add in art and technology as they design advertisements and create a commercial. Some of my kids even decided to design t-shirts! It was so satisfying as a teacher to see all of the ways my students completed this project. After completing all of the tasks and research, most of them actually set up a physical zoo in their house, and they were incredibly creative! Some of them made animals out of clay, others used stuffed animals--one even used her sister wearing an animal hat! They all truly made it their own, while learning and applying skills along the way. I hope your class has as much fun with this as mine did! You can find it here in my shop or here in my TPT store. Keep teaching with heart and passion!

Cardboard is everywhere. It comes in all shapes and sizes, including groceries and boxes for shipping from super-thin pieces to the heavy duty stuff. BUT cardboard is more than just recycled paper-- It can be turned into anything your students can dream of and that is just what they are going to do. ***THIS RESOURCE IS NOW DIGITAL for DISTANCE LEARNING*** See below for more details on using it with Google Slides. Cardboard Creation is a project based learning activity (PBL) that asks students to take cardboard and transform it into something new. They can create a game, a toy, sculptures, or whatever else they can imagine. There are unlimited possibilities when it comes to working with cardboard...and it's time to see what the kids can do. This PBL will walk students through the students of designing and planning how and what they will create. This project integrates elements of design, STEM, science, math, and art as students learn about create a new item from cardboard. There are 14 activities (most are 1 page each) for students to complete. Each page involves an issue or topic they must solve, design, create, or research as they working through creating their creation. As students work through each page, they will make their own decisions and choose the outcomes based on information they learn. By the end, all students will have completed the project, but each version will be based on the creator’s imagination, creativity, and mindset. What's Included PAGE Title Contents 6 Introduction Students are introduced to their objective of creating a resource from cardboard. 8 Brainstorm Students brainstorm items they could create using a list of categories. 9 Picking The Creation Students make a final decision of the creation they will be creating and designing. 10 Design Elements Students use this page to illustrate some of the different techniques that can be used when creating with cardboard (such as folding, creating notches, glue/tape). 11 Design Techniques Students illustrate and write different design techniques they can use putting their creation together. This includes folding, creating notches, tying with string, and more. 12 Rough Draft Students create a rough draft design of their creation, along with six key features of the design. 13 Problem Solver Students answer questions about their design. 14 Breakdown Students break down the specific parts they will need to make their creation. 15 Final Design Students make their final design after studying the rough drafts, identifying particular parts, and reflecting on what will/won’t work. 16 Alternate Angles Students must create designs of what their creation will look like from three different angles (top, side, and cross-section). 17 Features Students write the specific features that are included in their designs. This can vary between pieces and parts to moveable portions of the creation. 18 How It Works Students lay out (in four steps)(plus an extra page of unmarked steps) how the creation works. 20 Final Thoughts Students reflect on their design and creation, answering more open-ended questions. 21 Cardagrams Students create/share two social media illustrations of their creation being used in action. 22 Reflection Students score themselves on this self-assessment rubric. 23 Extension Ideas A list of four extension ideas for teachers, INCLUDING allowing students to take their creation and build it in real life! All pages can be geared towards multiple grade levels, although for some younger students the teacher may need to give more explicit instructions. Students may choose to use multiple resources to complete each page. They might even choose to work with a partner, but you get final say on that. ***THIS RESOURCE IS NOW DIGITAL!*** ACCESSING THIS DIGITAL RESOURCE There are two pdf files included in the zip file.
