Integrating iPads in STEM 3rd-5th Animal Adaptations
The Science Standards K-5 Vertical Alignment
While preparing for our session. We looked at our current EPISD curriculum documents and found an engaging science lab called, "Stuck on You." The lesson shares how to create an adapted frog tongue step by step. We decided to turn this into a STEM activity by having students construct a tongue without directions.
