LIBERTY’S STEM PHILOSOPHY
• Integrated Curriculum
• Problem-Based Learning
• Trial and Error
• More Than One Right Answer
• Teacher as FacilitatorHow to facilitate STEM
lessons to prompt students to justify design & evaluate ideas?
THE ROLE OF FACILITATOR
What does it look like in the
elementary classroom?
• Construct meaningful and
challenging learning experiences
• Create an environment and time to
articulate ideas
• Drive students to higher-level
thinking and questioning
• Justify outcomes with data and
evidence
• Reflect on STEM processes
LOWER-LEVEL QUESTIONINGRemember Understand Apply
What challenge/problem were you asked to solve?How would you describe your project?
What do you think might happen next?Explain how this works.What in your project shows (new idea or criteria given)?
Could this have happened/been used in (real life scenario given in design brief)?What elements would you change if you did this again?How would you solve (problem in their design) with what you have learned so far?
BLOOMING QUESTIONS IN STEMAnalyze Evaluate Create
What are the parts or features that match the criteria being asked of you?What was the turning point in your design? What is the function of (point to part of project)?Why do you think this will work? What evidence can you find that will support your thoughts?Why did you decide to change that part of your project?How is this similar/different compared to your brainstorm design?
Why was this better than your first design?How would your rate or evaluate your project so far?What changes to the project would you recommend?Is there a better solution to (problem with project)?How would you have handled (come up with problem they may have faced during project)?How effective do you think your project is? Explain.What would you recommend to other students who haven’t started this project yet?
What could be combined to improve how that works? How would you adapt this to create a different design?What changes would you make to solve that problem?How would you improve (part that may not be a strong aspect)?How would you change/modify this so it does meet the criteria?Can you invent a solution for that issue?What would happen if (come up with issue that may arise)?
FANCY FOOTWORK DESIGN BRIEF
In this guided inquiry lesson, students are invited to explore the effect of surface texture
on ease of motion. Through their investigation, students will discover the concept of
frictional force. They will use data gathered in an engaging experiment to answer the
question, “What is the relationship between various shoe sole materials and ease of
motion?” A pre-lesson assessment will inform the teacher about students’ skills, prior
knowledge, and misconceptions. In particular the results of the pre-lesson assessment will
help to identify students who may need additional support with measurement, data
collection, and graphing.
LET’S SEE YOUR FANCY FOOTWORK!!!

DESIGN BRIEF INTRODUCTIONSetting the background, criteria, and design challenge
The student will investigate and
understand characteristics and
interactions of moving objects -
friction is a force that opposes
motion.
