A venn diagram is a visual organizer composed of two or more overlapping circles. Venn Diagrams, named after their inventor John Venn, are especially used to contrast or compare a set of elements, ideas, concepts, items, etc with the purpose of drawing out similarities or differences. You can also use Venn diagrams to highlight important points or to outline and draw attention to the interrelatedness of elements.

It was spring 2022 and we were completing our first full year of in-person learning since the start of the pandemic. The kids had been through so much. We all had. Throughout 2020 and 2021, my students, colleagues and I were in and out of the building between virtual, hybrid and in-person learning because of closures and frequent quarantine periods.

Starting a STEM program, or teaching STEM for the first time can be overwhelming! There are so many factors to consider and pieces to organize. I found the greatest frustration came from money. For the first 3 years I taught STEM, my budget was ZERO- which made getting materials challenging. Very quickly I realized that the resources I wanted could easily be acquired through donations and my local recycling center.

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.

The following is a guest post from Erik Murray. Nuclear power and kids have a lot in common. They can be a force for good, or they can be a force of pure unbridled destruction. The difference being control. The force for chaos and destruction can rear its ugly head in many places. The biggest being the group project. For every successful project I’ve run, there’s been 2-3 catastrophic failures.

The changing seasons create many opportunities to engage in critical thinking and STEM activities. Children note the changing seasons, and often want to know why. They notice that things change all around them. In Autumn, the temperature cools down, nature is different, and the smells are changing. Autumn provides the perfect opportunity to practice fall STEM activities.
