Welcome to Indian Head Elementary's STEM Club for 2010-2011

This school year we are planning several activities that will involve being outside and inside learning about various aspects of our watershed in Indian Head. Students will understand how their actions and the actions of citizens of Indian Head affects the health of the Potomac watershed and at on a larger scale the Chesapeake Bay. Each activity has goals and questions that are scaffolded to build student understanding. Ultimately, students will use their new understandings to reflect on the impact they have on the Potomac River.

Every student will have the opportunity to utilize many facets of technology -- our school has been given a video camera, smartboard, laptop, GPSs, and document camera. Students will use the technology in an integrated fashion through inquiry science, math, and engineering activities.
