If my project is funded, students will be able to bridge the gap between the S T E and M in STEM, by utilizing computer programming, circuitry and the scientific process to create their own individualized custom experiments. This will allow our students to take ownership of their studies. By utilizing Arduino products for learning science, students will be able to design their own experiments, tailored to their specific interests on a given science topic. Students can utilize pre-existing programming or delve into the world of coding to modify or recreate experiments. Earth Science students studying properties of the atmosphere can create weather stations with the arduino and a suite of environmental sensors. Through the programming, the students can set parameters for data collection intervals, data reporting and analysis methods. If properly equipped, these materials could even be sent into the upper atmosphere via high altitude balloon, allowing the students to make actual measurements of the properties of our atmosphere at the fringe of space! Specifically, the materials I am requesting are Arduino Uno microcontroller boards which act essentially like computers that can be programmed to perform simple functions like measuring air pressure, temperature, or GPS location. In order to utilize the Arduino microcontrollers to monitor environmental conditions, I am also requesting a suite of sensors to work with the arduino boards These include soil monitors, temperature humidity sensors, gyroscopes and many more. In order to equip these sensors, we also need a series of breadboards and jumper wires to complete the circuit, and arduino usb cables to provide the circuit with power and supply the programming code.
