Made up of 5th and 6th grade students, the class operates with a\u00a0specific\u00a0emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects. The class is self-contained, so the students stay together with a single teacher\u00a0all day, every day. Says Beckman, &#8220;<span class=\"Apple-style-span\">The students were selected for the class by teachers and parents for their interest in STEM topics, academic performance, perseverance, and collaboration skills. Although this is our first year of the program, it has been a huge success!&#8221; Beckman noted that though the class does have an emphasis on STEM, all the traditional subjects, including social studies\u00a0and English, are still taught.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In early 2015\u00a0Beckman received notice of an available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geneseeisd.org\/DocumentCenter\/View\/3190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CARE grant<\/a> from the Greater Flint Education Consortium (GFEC) that would allow her to create a collaborative partnership between her class and a local university.\u00a0Beckman chose UM-Flint and its Physics Program.<\/p>\n<p>She\u00a0contacted the Physics Program&#8217;s Dr. James Alsup, who enthusiastically agreed to working together.<\/p>\n<p>The learning objectives for the partnership center on physical science and cover Kinetic and Potential Energy, Energy Transfer, and Changes in Matter. Subjects that Alsup and his undergraduate students are well suited to teach.<\/p>\n<p>Alsup said, &#8220;<span class=\"Apple-style-span\">My students Patrick Ross and Benjamin Savoie have both chosen physics due to their experiences in school and activities like science fairs. They know the benefit of having a fun, interactive, and inquisitive approach to questions in nature and were happy to provide that for our local classroom.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-994\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/04\/Savoie1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-994\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/04\/Savoie1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Savoie1\" width=\"430\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/04\/Savoie1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/04\/Savoie1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ben Savoie prepares equipment for a demonstration on energy transfer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On April 20, 2015, the STEM students arrived at UM-Flint for their first lesson on Energy Transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Savoie and Ross, both UM-Flint Physics majors, had prepared the Zick Active Learning Classroom for the day&#8217;s activities. Dr. Alsup welcomed the elementary students as they arranged themselves in groups\u00a0of four at the lab tables.<\/p>\n<p>Alsup began the day with some slides and questions on states of matter and changes in energy. He was impressed by the students&#8217; existing knowledge and by the myriad questions they asked. His undergrad assistants laughingly began a whiteboard list with the topics covered by student questions: phase changes, quantum physics, meteorology, chemistry, astrophysics, particle physics, textiles, ectoplasmic chambers, and geology.<\/p>\n<p>Said Alsup, &#8220;<span class=\"Apple-style-span\">I was unsure of what to expect having a classroom full of 5- and 6th graders.\u00a0 I prepared a short talk, but the class already knew almost all of it.\u00a0 Lindy has done a fantastic job educating them, and the first hour turned into a Q and A session.\u00a0 It was extremely fun.\u00a0 I think that the full session will help cement concepts for the students to view a unified description of matter based on notions of atoms and energy.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_996\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-996\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/04\/Alsup3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-996\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/04\/Alsup3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Alsup3\" width=\"430\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/04\/Alsup3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/04\/Alsup3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-996\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. James Alsup discusses plasmas in his lesson on states of matter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After the slide presentation and the Q and\u00a0A, the day moved into demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>The group learned Boyle&#8217;s Law, which describes the relationship between volume and the pressure of gasses,\u00a0when an aluminum can containing\u00a0a small amount of boiling water was crushed by submerging it in ice water.
