OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - Bringing a textbook to life with outdoor activity makes learning fun for everyone. Tuesday, hundreds of fourth graders in the Oklahoma City Public School District visited Devon Park to use sports as their avenue to demonstrate science, technology, engineering and math, also known as STEM, in action.
You name it, running, jumping, throwing and more gives the students real world connections to the STEM concepts they learn in the classroom. It's an opportunity to see things like velocity, projection, force and more take place.
"So just all of those STEM aspects of our sports that we love to watch," OKCPS Stem Coordinator Amy Fullbright said. "It just shows them that learning continues outside the classroom once they're finished with their traditional school learning."
