Research tells us that children’s early experience builds brain architecture and lays the foundation for one’s lifelong thinking skills and approach to learning, both critical roots of STEM success. (McClure et al., 2017)
In this project, bilingual kindergarten students will develop lifelong science and literacy skills, vocabulary, and high order-thinking skills by researching through hands-on methods the phenomena of growing plants with symbiotic bacteria on earth and in space through an ExoLab.
ExoLab is an IoT (internet of things) science lab that can conduct and monitor research experiments even in remote circumstances such as a sudden school closure due to COVID-19 or hurricanes. In a sudden closure, the experiments can still be running and be visible to the students remotely. This technology helps to conduct scientific research on plants onboard the International Space Station, and from classrooms distributed around the world. The students will experience the phenomena of observing time-lapse growth on plants along with different sensors in all the classrooms, and in space.
