1 STARPOINT HAS A STEM PROGRAM WHAT IS STEM? STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS) EDUCATION FOCUSES ON TEACHING STUDENTS HOW TO SOLVE EVERYDAY PROBLEMS THAT OVERLAP MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES. WHY STEM? THE GOAL OF STEM EDUCATION IS TO BETTER PREPARE OUR STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE, AND CAREERS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE SEE Dr. Schurr ROOM: K-31 PHONE: x kschurr@starpointcsd.org COURSES CURRENTLY OFFERED: STEM: PHYSICS STEM: CHEMISTRY STEM: BIOLOGY STEM: EARTH SCIENCE NEW NEXT YEAR! STEM: GEOMETRY THESE COURSES ARE ALL HANDS-ON. STUDENTS DESIGN THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS TO REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES. IF STUDENT TAKE FOUR STEM COURSES BEFORE THEY GRADUATE, THEY WILL EARN A STEM CERTIFICATE. FOR PROJECT EXAMPLES PLEASE REFER TO THE PAGES BELOW: STEM: Physics 1 STEM: Chemistry 2 STEM: Biology 3 STEM: Earth Science 4 STEM: Geometry 5 Other Technology Courses 6
2 Graphing & Kinematic Vehicles: Given a position time graph, design a vehicle to match the motion depicted in your graph.
