Congratulations to Nikki Gutierrez and Angela Williams, Ben Lipson Upper School science teachers, who were asked to present recent Scheck Hillel classroom projects to local educators at last week’s Dade County Science Teachers’ Association’s K-12 STEM Conference: Spotlight on Science. The theme was STEM Project Ideas to Complement Science Content, and Scheck Hillel was the ideal model for local teaches.
Mrs. Williams presented the solar ovens and roller coasters that her Grade 8 students recently developed in their physical science class; she also led a scientific (and delish) ice cream demo that she conducts in class. Mrs. Gutierrez shared the cardboard car project she created for her Grade 6 integrated science students, along with variations to teach science faculty how they can adapt it to different age groups.
