PCS Elementary STEM

Our @my_pcs 5th graders LOVE using @VEXRobotics in their science lab and teachers love the hands-on #STEM connection to our standards. 🏎🏁#STEMPinellas 🎥Watch them in action: youtu.be/VUWX4z7TzAY

#STEM doesn't need a ton of fancy materials. Love this simple yet engaging idea!

Need a pumpkin decorating idea for fall? We're loving this Bee-Bot one from Massachusetts teacher Ms. Parker! 🐝🎃 #STEMtober #Beebot Reposted from Terrapin Toys 🧡 resources.terrapinlogo.com/stories/bee-bo…

#STEMed happens at home too in PCS! Gr 4 & 5 Ts prepped for #STEMChallenges by doing them during our virtual PD last week. ⚙🧱🏡

Kings Highway 4th graders are learning about the night sky using Star Wheels! 🌠💫 #STEMed

These kinders at Ozona ES explored 3D shapes as they constructed a home for their Peep using toothpicks and jellybeans. We love the seasonal tie-in with this #STEMchallenge! 📸Mrs. Light's Class

So proud of the work these amazing educators are doing! #STEMPinellas

Ms. Grasley’s 1st graders generated planning questions & strategies together so ALL learners could have a place to start when they break off to build. #STEMed #STEMchallenge 📸@CypressWoodsES

Ms. McShane's students are loving the new Engineering Design Process option for our upcoming Science Showcase. Check out their project board in progress! 📸@StarkeyBears

What “old school” resources lurk in your school closets? And how can you repurpose them today?

Madeira Beach 4th graders used recycled materials to design the slowest possible marble run! This #STEMchallenge incorporates time, angles, & motion concepts in a hands-on design competition.

Robots make everything more fun! 🤖 Ms. Randolph's 1st graders LOVE using @Ozobot to practice measuring to the nearest inch. 📸Bay Vista Fundamental #STEMeducation @PCS_ElemMath

Love seeing their growth with their redesigned chains! Testing & Improving are so important to the process 😍

Highland Lakes Elementary 1st graders love exploring coding with @Ozobot! Check out the full video here: youtu.be/msgEo9YuSWE #STEM #coding #codingforkids

From Pre-K3 to 3rd grade- they ALL want to build a snowman!!! ☃❄☃

🌬4th Graders at Westgate Elementary explored renewable resources & wind energy in this windmill-building #STEM Design Challenge! Check out their great work in action👇👇👇 🎥youtu.be/g77qlukL-jQ #STEMEducation #STEMPinellas @my_pcs

Check out the math skills from these Bay Vista Fund. 4th graders! Ss collaborated to plan a budget-friendly & fun party for their school in this math-focused #STEMchallenge! #STEMPinellas #iteachmath @PCS_ElemMath @my_pcs

This hands-on investigation blends design thinking with the scientific method as 3rd graders design/test a way to cool sea turtle nests! Way to go Ms. Morris' class at Skyview ES! #STEMPinellas @my_pcs
