              This STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Math) lesson has been designed around a Model-Eliciting Activity

              This Model Eliciting Activity (MEA) is written at a 1st grade level The Flower Power MEA provides students with an real world problem in which they must work as a team to design a plan to select the best flower arrangement for a special event The resource was primarily designed as an MEA so the time and teacher instructions are primarily based on the MEA The additional activities will take several hours of instruction but include watching and discussing a video about the parts of plants reading a book and discussing the art in the book as well as additional art by the book authorillustrator

              In this MEA the students are to decide what criteria is the most important for a company to consider when choosing life jackets Students will use data tables of qualitative information to solve the problem
              In this lesson students will identify the vowel team ee through classroom connections media connections and real world connections The students will develop a class-made ee tree in which the students will increase their vocabulary with a variety of ee words

              This STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Math) lesson has been designed around a Model-Eliciting Activity

              This Model Eliciting Activity (MEA) is written at a 1st grade level The Flower Power MEA provides students with an real world problem in which they must work as a team to design a plan to select the best flower arrangement for a special event The resource was primarily designed as an MEA so the time and teacher instructions are primarily based on the MEA The additional activities will take several hours of instruction but include watching and discussing a video about the parts of plants reading a book and discussing the art in the book as well as additional art by the book authorillustrator

              In this MEA the students are to decide what criteria is the most important for a company to consider when choosing life jackets Students will use data tables of qualitative information to solve the problem
              In this lesson students will identify the vowel team ee through classroom connections media connections and real world connections The students will develop a class-made ee tree in which the students will increase their vocabulary with a variety of ee words
