S.T.E.M FIELD TRIPS
EDUCATION AND FUN, ALL ROLLED INTO ONE!
Introduce your students to a unique educational STEM field trip in Galion, Ohio at Tigers Den Skate Center that gets them excited about learning! Students will learn how the concepts of science, technology, engineering, and math can be found in everyday experiences, even fun experiences like roller skating.
Our S.T.E.M Educators teach students about how S.T.E.M principles exist in just about every part of life.
The S.T.E.M. lessons focus on hands-on activities that are both educational and fun! THE S.T.E.M. LESSON PLANS FOLLOW NEXT GENERATION AND STATE-LEVEL CURRICULUM STANDARDS that relate back to classroom learning making this S.T.E.M. program completely unique! Following the completion of the one-hour S.T.E.M. lesson, the student's roller skate for physical fitness. While roller skating, the concepts students learned are continually reinforced.
Elementary & Middle School STEM LESSONS
WE OFFER 10 UNIQUE ACTIVITY-BASED STEM LESSONS THAT MATCH WHAT YOU ARE TEACHING IN THE CLASS CURRICULUM! This 3- hour field trip will include a 1-hour hands-on STEM experience lead by our professional educator, followed by the enjoyment of physical fitness through roller skating. We offer a variety of lesson topics that align with the most up to date curriculum guided by the NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS and more. With so many lessons available meeting your classroom standards, we are certain you join us time and time again!
THE LESSONS
LESSON 1: The Science of Roller Skating
LESSON 1: The Science of Roller Skating
LESSON 1: The Science of Roller Skating
Students will learn about the parts of a roller skate/inline skate and how each part functions to make the skate. They will discuss how surfaces in the rink are made of different materials and how that affects the skate in motion. Students will have a chance to showcase their creativity and design a new feature for a skate.
LESSON 2: Motion and Skate Design
LESSON 1: The Science of Roller Skating
LESSON 1: The Science of Roller Skating
Students will get an introduction into the physics of roller skating by discussing the four parameters of motion. Students will become problem solvers and answer an open-ended question by inventing their own skate design.
LESSON 3: Music, Math, & Roller Skating
LESSON 1: The Science of Roller Skating
LESSON 3: Music, Math, & Roller Skating
Students will learn how to count using the beats of the music played in a roller rink and will learn how the type of music affects the speed of the skater. Fourth and fifth graders will also learn how to control the speed of skaters using the beat of the music.
LESSON 4: Super Sound! Acoustics & Rink Design
LESSON 4: Super Sound! Acoustics & Rink Design
LESSON 4: Super Sound! Acoustics & Rink Design
Students will explore how sound waves look and how they travel through different mediums. They will discuss sounds that relate to the roller skating rink including the differentiation In speaker pitch and tones.
LESSON 5: Science of Lighting
LESSON 4: Super Sound! Acoustics & Rink Design
LESSON 4: Super Sound! Acoustics & Rink Design
Students will learn about the speed of light and how light travels. Students will learn the exciting affects of light with the use of reflection and refraction.
Lesson 6: Heart, Health, & Fitness
LESSON 4: Super Sound! Acoustics & Rink Design
Lesson 6: Heart, Health, & Fitness
Students will learn about the functions of the cardiovascular system and about leading a healthy lifestyle. They will make predictions and then calculate their average heart rate through physical activity.
LESSON 7: Formulas, Fractions, & Fun
LESSON 9: The Science Behind Roller & Ice Hockey
LESSON 7: Formulas, Fractions, & Fun
Students will learn how math concepts can be found all over the skating rink. Students will measure, compare, and average the speed of several skaters, discover how engineers use geometry in the rink, and how statistics relates to roller skating.
LESSON 8: Newton on Roller Skates
LESSON 9: The Science Behind Roller & Ice Hockey
LESSON 7: Formulas, Fractions, & Fun
Students will learn that each one of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion are present in the skating rink. They will experiment with force and mass and discuss the importance of physics and roller skating.
LESSON 9: The Science Behind Roller & Ice Hockey
LESSON 9: The Science Behind Roller & Ice Hockey
LESSON 9: The Science Behind Roller & Ice Hockey
Students will learn how STEM plays a very large part in sports, specifically roller and ice hockey. They will learn how three different kinds of motion can make a difference In the outcome of the game. Students will also talk probability and construct a catapult.
LESSON 10: Arcade STEM
Students will learn about reaction time, what it has to do with arcade games and how to Improve it. Students will also learn about probability through discussion of arcade games In our facility.
