LESSON DESCRIPTION: KPBSD Grade Level Expectations for grades K-8 in Science, Technology and Math Methodology is hands on, inquiry based STEM instruction. Lesson materials are adapted from or aligned with NASA, Project Wild, and other proven state, national and online curricula. Students are given a pre-assessment at the beginning of a unit. At the conclusion, students are given the same questions as a post-assessment and the number of correct answers compared. Assignments completed in class are reviewed for accuracy and discussed with the student. A homework/family activity is assigned each week to compliment the lesson plan. These are returned and discussed the following week.
