2022 Salt River Project 5-day STEM Academy

An Arizona Project WET and SRP STEM Academy for 4th-8th grade teachers

An invaluable week of discussion, thinking and learning where we will explore using: 

• Core Ideas
• Cross Cutting Concepts
• Science & Engineering Practices
• Phenomena

You will be tasked to develop solutions to the question:

“If you were SRP, how could you use your 100+ years of experience to manage water for our growing desert city’s next 100 years?”

We will:

• Develop and use models to identify parts of a watershed, simulate the effects of hot crown fires on runoff, and produce energy to do work.
• Engage in argument from evidence to describe the relationships between surface water and groundwater.
• Analyze & interpret tree ring data and relate the evidence to watershed management.
• Construct explanations and design solutions to efficiently and effectively produce energy and do work.
• Obtain, evaluate, and communicate historical information and evidence and apply it to discover solutions for the future.
