S.T.E.A.M. Adventure: Grades 1–3
Week 6: July 20 – July 24 | 9 AM – 2 PM
The Wild West: The Frontier Fracture
The Crisis: The frontier is lost in a cloud of dust! Navigational maps have faded, and the structures needed to survive the rugged terrain are collapsing.
The Fix:
Science: Explore geology and soil science by testing rock density and erosion patterns to find the safest building sites. Study structural tension by building scale-model covered wagons and suspension bridges that can withstand "mountain" weight.
Art: Master pioneer folk art and textile patterns using geometric symmetry. Experiment with natural photography principles (Cyanotypes) to document desert flora and fauna using the power of the sun.
Math & Literacy: Use mapping and coordinates to chart unknown territory. Write "Frontier Journals" detailing daily survival strategies and the discovery of new geological formations.
Mission Goal: Use engineering and earth science to settle the territory and bridge the gap between two coasts!
