This fall, STEAM is in full swing. The pictures that follow explain more about the projects that are underway during the 2013-2014 year

Entrance to classroom 

Middle School Science/Art Projects

Design Science Lab Phytoplankton Projects

The pictures seen here show the current status of my classroom. This Science and Art world is where lots of interdisciplinary teaching and learning happens. As you walk down the hall, students are surrounded by examples of learning that were created by students while learning about biology, art, environmental science and much more. Within every unit students are presented with options to show their understanding about science related topics in both traditional and non-traditional formats. One of these images shows a new hanging garden created by middle school students in an Environmental Art Class. The tall silver people above this unusual living wall, were created by 6th graders when they were learning about the Italian artist Alberto Giocometti. The transparent hanging structures will be explained in the next post.
