When we started brainstorming for our lesson, we thought back to our middle school
science projects. We have all done something with coke and mentos or baking soda and
vinegar. Keeping this in mind, we went to Purdue Science Express to look through some ideas.
Finally, we decided to do a rocket ship that is powered by baking soda and vinegar. We went to
Google to continue brainstorming and to get a basic understanding of the lesson plan we would
be doing. We then found which lesson plan we would be basing our lesson off of. We altered the
lesson plan we found to best suit what we wanted to do and achieve with our own lesson plan.

This journal is about how teachers who have low STEM backgrounds can actually
restrain student STEM learning. It also points out that the opposite of this is true as well.
Teachers who have a well-established STEM background can aid in student STEM learning.
The journal implies that even if teachers do not have a strong STEM knowledge, they can still
learn and train to have the STEM knowledge needed to pass on to their students. This journal
did not necessarily help us directly in creating our lesson plan, but it did help us keep things into
perspective. It helped to remind us that STEM learning is important, but it is also important for
the teacher to have a good understanding so that they can effectively teach their students.

This journal mainly talks about visuals. It breaks visuals down into six categories, based
on their properties and such, and gives other information about them. It also stresses the
importance of visuals in STEM learning. It points out that using visuals helps to better
understand materials in STEM and outside of STEM. For our lesson plan, we made it a point to
use visuals. We did this in our video by using pictures when we explained the step-by-step
procedure. We knew this would aid in learning how to do the project.
