PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - STEAM
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for the Radcliffe community to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
During the first trimester, students in Mr. Reynolds RCS STEAM class have been working on various science, technology, engineering, art and math projects focusing on experiential learning. Students initiated a 140' x 10' mural on the wall of East Coast Storage in Chestertown reflecting the history of the Chester River. STEAM students also created a 15' Chesapeake Sharpie by taking lines off of an older boat, transferring the measurements to a large sheet of paper (lofting), cutting the pattern out, affixing it to plywood and tracing the boat sections full-sized which were then cut out and fit together to build the Bateaux. Mr. Reynolds' STEAM students also baked breads and cookies while carrying out experiments to understand the hows and whys of measurement, chemistry and engineering structure in the kitchen. The final STEAM project for the term was laying out and painting the new school sign.
In Mr. Littlefiled's and Mrs. Greenwood's STEAM class this trimester, the students studied recycling, the atmosphere, the water cycle and how climate change was impacted. The students studied hurricanes and wildfires of their choice and worked on individual reports, posters and projects. To finish off the trimester, we will be talking about endangered animals affected by the Amazon Rainforest fire and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
