The team’s innovative teaching idea, “Full STEAM Ahead,” focuses on investigating the relationship between science, technology, engineering, arts and math within the human body, as well as on our earth. Students will explore the connection between science and the impact that various health factors have on the body and other bodily functions – by sculpting and creating models of various elements of a healthy body, as well as those that are decaying due to unhealthy living. Through research and journaling, students will conduct investigations, construct models and comprise theories that reflect the cause and effect of certain viruses, ailments and other bodily dysfunctions. Through this project, Bracey and her team have enabled students to use their creativity and STEAM knowledge to explore real-life health situations.
