STEM education benefits students of all ages. Students as young as kindergarten can begin reaping the positives just as easily as those in high school. This is because STEM — science, technology, engineering, and math — education does more than teach specific school subjects. STEM encourages students to solve problems. It hones critical thinking skills and helps students learn to navigate the complexities of group work.

Alyssa Parks first made an appointment at the counseling center at Marshall University thanks to her roommate. The young woman had mentioned to Parks how comfortable she felt receiving care at the facility and how nice the staff were. So when Parks learned during a conference for student-government leaders about a program that teaches young adults to offer mental health support to their peers, she thought it would work well at Marshall—and even beyond, at colleges throughout West Virginia.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

What skills do you need to succeed in school? Published: Your academic identity plays a key role in your education. Students with low self-confidence in their abilities are more likely to struggle in school and withdraw from university. To address this, Dr Cheryl Talley founded Project Knowledge , a research project and academic intervention at Virginia State University , USA, which has since expanded to a local high school.

1. Volcanic lightning. A huge, bright flash of lightning’s branched electric show is a sight worth seeing. Lightning is caused by an accumulation of static charges in clouds. As you might have guessed, volcanic lightning occurs during a volcanic eruption, and is a rare sight. Volcanic lightning occurs in the smoke, dirt, and bits of rocks that ride on the back of hot air in the form of a huge tower called a plume.

STEPS FOR SOLVING A ONE STEP EQUATION 1) Divide the problem into two sections by drawing a vertical line through the equal sign. 2) Identify the operation in the given problem. 3) Decide what the inverse Operation is and show the inverse on both sides of the equation (both sides of the equalssign/the vertical line). In this problem the operation is addition so the opposite operation is subtraction. 4) The inverse operations will undo one another and will be eliminated. 5) Solve the value of the

The cause was later discovered by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), which found a new crater from a relatively fresh meteoroid impact.
