The Great Electro Magnet Race is targeted towards students in grades K-12. Introducing STEM education allows students of all ages to gain experience around STEM and learn how to creatively think. To get students involved the contest incorporated all kinds of learning. Hands on learners of the class will benefit the most, because the project consists of building electromagnets. However, the audio and visual learners also benefit from the presentation. The Great Electromagnet race is easy to duplicate, because the materials are easy to find, and the materials aren’t expensive.
The cost of the project was not over sixty dollars, however, could be replicated cheaper, using smaller batteries and less wire. The contest could have …show more content…
Students of Ms. Rayburns’ class room were enthusiastic about learning as well as learning about new ideas. The project was implemented in a 4th grade classroom, however, this project can be targeted at all levels of K-12. All children in school should learn about STEM education. STEM is vital to the future, and lead to helping professions that build communities and transform …show more content…
As well the contest would be shortened with more help from the facilitators.
Students from fourth grade to sixth grade would be introduce to more complex concepts. Students would learn more detail about how electromagnets and how electromagnets turn on and off. The contest for fourth to sixth grade is explained in detail in the instruction manual.
In middle school seventh and eighth grade students would be introduced to attractive and repulsive forces. As well the students would be introduce with how atoms interact with the nail. The contest would have to be changed and edited for middle school students because explained in the instruction manual the competition would be quite elementary.
When taught to high school students this project would be quite elementary for them, therefore, discussing physics and chemical forces regarding magnets and batteries would better interest the
