Below are two lesson plans that revolve around the STEM Mural project. They blend all of the elements of the mural: STEM, history, and art to create an in-depth understanding and appreciation of these men and women, their contributions, and their backgrounds. It will allow students to make connections between the subjects they study, while advancing their knowledge in specific areas. Give your students the opportunity to find role models that can influence their future careers.
This project can be incorporated into your classroom at any time of the school year. It can be a group project or an individual project. It is a detailed, but flexible project and you are able to shape it to fit your classroom's needs. There is an honors/advanced version of the project and one for academic classes.
