=== This project is a collaborative effort between the students of BSC 231 and BSC 307. A majority of your collaboration can be done online via Google docs. The major components and responsibilities of the project participants are listed below. === ====**The Challenge:** To create a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) activity kit that K-12 teachers can check out for use in their classrooms. Kits that integrate multiple STEM disciplines are preferred.====



2. BSC 307 students will be assigned to a kit project.
==== 3. BSC 307 students will review the project posted by the BSC 231 students. 307 students will use the STEM Kit Challenge Teacher Guide Rubric to review the teacher handout and can write comments on the project’s Google doc page. Please note that you will need to create a Google account in order to complete this step. ====

· At what cognitive level are students expected to think/perform?
==== 5. BSC 307 students will create all student materials, including lab handout, data organization tools and answer keys. These materials, along with the objectives, should be created and shared with the 231 students via Google docs.They should also be posted in the "Student Work" section below.These student materials will be graded using the rubric below. ====
