My school is centered in the heart of earthquake country in California. In fact, major fault lines are only miles away from the school campus. Our school is also located along the San Francisco Bay with a major oil refinery on the edge of our city. On the first day of school, I asked the student scientists what they wanted to learn about this year in their STEM classes. The response was overwhelmingly focused on improving the future of their city of Richmond. My students are eager to learn about the world around them and how they can be active citizens of change in our world, specifically when it comes to issues of pollution, wild animal conservation, and the creation of safe and sustainable structures that will withstand the force of an earthquake.
The STEM kits listed in this project provide hands-on experiences for students to discover how to engineer and build bridges that will not collapse during an earthquake, how to design machines to clean up an oil spill in the Bay, and think about methods our community can implement to prevent erosion along the coastline. Texts included in this project support our students' understanding of these scientific concepts and link closely to our English language Arts standards.
