Although shortlaboratory reports and two presentations were required and graded, there was not explicitinstruction or feedback given on writing. Instead, a majority of the focus of technicalcommunication instruction was on developing clear and well formatted plots and tables.Integrating an additional writing assignment explicitly designed with a revision process couldgive students an idea of what college level scientific writing looks like.Section Lecture/Activity Excel + Computer Math Laboratory

Mindstorms could be usedfor free-form play that is based on students’ interests and desires, or structured in such a way thatsupports multiple builds. But, in the cases above, the interplay between these material andstructural forces constructed them as uniform, fitting in with the teachers’ expectations, goals,and time constraints.

‘It’s Nothing Like October Sky!’: Spurring 9 & 10th Graders to Think Like Engineers via Rockets th Custom-Designed for Maximum AltitudeAbstractK-12 STEM education literature reveals that conventional and traditional math, science, andcomputer programming classes often fail to effectively “do the ‘E’ in STEM”. New grade-level-appropriate curricula are required to address this omission. This paper presents and evaluates amodel-rocket-based curriculum implemented in a stand-alone STEM course required for all 9thand 10th graders at a private high school.
