rough the Trevor approach:
n
investigation crosses academic boundaries, combining
art with history with science with literature.
n
curricular mastery occurs in larger, nuanced contexts,
rather than detached silos.
n
synthesis and creative problem-solving build upon
analysis and criticism.
n
learning doesn't stand still or sit quietly. We take
our cues from how humans actually experience the
world—with all of our senses.
A science unit on simple machines
transforms a fourth-grade classroom into a Makerspace,
where students use a few key materials to hypothesize, tinker, and
ultimately test solutions to the question "How can a fulcrum most
effectually catapult a Ping-Pong ball?"
