Listen "42. How Do You Chew?"
Episode Synopsis
Show Summary:In this episode of The STEM Space, Natasha and Claire return to answer the much anticipated question: did Natasha get to eat her sandwich in class? Her professor had some very specific instructions (including but not limited to: don’t eat breakfast, bring a sandwich for lunch, and also bring a 1 pound bag of M&M’s) which left both Claire and our listeners scratching their heads. Listen now to find out what happened and how you can apply the thinking to your classroom!P.S. Sadly, we could find no studies proving Claire’s statement that M&M’s taste differently.Links from the Show:STEM Drag Device Parachute Challenge <from the Vivify Store>M&Ms “Blending In” ActivityTexas A&M University (Claire and Natasha’s alma mater as well as their “Aggies” reference)Introducing Kids to STEM Concepts <from the Vivify Instagram>Abraham Wald and Survivorship bias (WWII planes returning with bullet holes)How to Plan a STEM Curriculum <from the Vivify website>THE STEM SPACE SHOWNOTES:https://www.vivifystem.com/thestemspace/2021/42-how-do-you-chewTHE STEM SPACE FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thestemspace/VIVIFY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/vivifystemVIVIFY FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/vivifystemVIVIFY TWITTER: https://twitter.com/vivifystem
