STEAM TEAM | Meet Silas Activity 2: Bot Bedlam

(Updated 9/22/2022)

Meet Silas

Leaders, we have a question for you.  Have you taken the opportunity to Meet Silas yet?  If not, we hope you take the time to get to know him.  His introductory story is here.  It's an original story (penned by the Mr.) to help students understand the independent components of STEAM.  Silas is our scientist.

If you're looking for an engaging short story (even if you don't teach STEAM) with comprehension activities, this one is sure to fit the bill.  And after you read it, we hope you fall in love with his world.

Silas Activity One: Distinguished Apothecaries

Once you're trapped in his world, we're here to be your guide.  Last week, we begged you to develop a must-read list of Distinguished Apothecaries to help Silas in his quest.  Have you not had the opportunity to help him out yet?  Sign up to help out here.

Silas Activity Two: Bot Bedlam

This week, we're taking you on a whole new type of trial - a trial of emotions.  We want you to really feel like you are right next to Silas.  By using text details, the engineering design process, and elements of music, your cadets will replicate the sound of bot bedlam detailed in Silas' story.

The resources you'll find in your 21-page travel guide include:

  • A STEAM TEAM glossary (we need to get you speaking the lingo)
  • A copy of Silas' story 
  • A detailed trial itinerary (aka lesson plan)
  • Trial resources (think sheets and visual aids)
  • A trial glossary (vocabulary activities)
  • Individualized trial experiences (differentiation opportunities)
In one part of the lesson, cadet teams use this think sheet to develop a plan for creating a bot sound composition that matches details in the description.

A think sheet to help you plan bot bedlam sound engineering.

We hope this adventure provides you with an appropriately challenging STEAM experience. If you are looking for more STEAM TEAM activities, click here.

World Turtle Day | JOY for Today

Image
After watching my turtle recover from his tumble down the stairs yesterday (he's alright), I realized this is what turtles do: they take risks. They don't know what's at the bottom of that fall, but they trust their shell to protect them. I wonder, what shell protects you? Does your shell of protection provide joy and confidence or fear and isolation?  Meet Our Turtle: Waldo World Turtle Day Stops: Did You Know...   Two we knew; three we didn't.
