Van Arsdale's Stem Lab

Lego Wall

We built a Lego wall in the STEM Lab so students can create 3D models of cities on 1 acre plots...and to simply have FUN!

3rd Grade Recycled Inventions

Students were given three days to design, collect recycled materials, and build an invention. This what such a blast!

4th Grade Recycled Vehicles

Students were given three days to design, collect recycled materials, and build a vehicle. Their undestanding of elecric vehicles was astounding!

Tinker Toys

To meet engineering skills we are using Tinker Toys to build specific structures.

Straws and Jax

During the building workshop students can build with Straws and Jax while they wait for their roation with the teacher.

Hot Wheels Raceway

To learn about weight, speed, gravity, and length we have been building tracks and trying out different cars. We hope to pair this with Makey Makey and create timing devices.

We use block coding to use many bots!

Code Mouse and Bee Bots

The basics of coding are using starting in preschool and kindergarten.

Makey Makey

We loving using different materials with the Makey Makey! 

Cubelets

We are designing trains and to evaluate load size and electrical currents.

Botley

We love coding using a remote!

Marble Maze

It is a thinker! We are using geometry to understand the trojectory of angles and gravity. 

Ozobot vs Sphero

R2D2 vs BB8 is really the question!!
