HS Financial Training Classes

Ask a Tech Teacher

Such an important topic, especially as we see kids aren’t graduating with basic knowledge of budgeting, paying bills, and more. CNBC has a great article on one of their blogs on this subject you’ll appreciate: High schools, scrambling to prep Gen Z for the real world, are teaching students to make and manage money. We at Ask a Tech Teacher have written often about financial literacy.

Boosting Student STEM Interest Through Sports Science

PCS Edventures

When you think about the world of sports, many images probably come to mind. Your first tee-ball experience, the Super Bowl, gym class — even if you don’t consider yourself an athlete, sports are solidified as an important part of our daily lives, and for a good reason. Sports are an orchestration of science in motion. At the highest levels of play, it’s easy to see that sports are a demonstration of pushing the body to its limits.

Can Brain Science Actually Help Make Your Training & Teaching Stick?

Speaker: Andrew Cohen, Founder & CEO of Brainscape

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.

Air Pollution Detective STEM Challenge

Smore Science

Take a deep breath. Along with that life-giving oxygen, you are inhaling, there are quite a few other things mixed into the air you breathe. Let’s start with the gasses. Air (on Earth, anyway) is made up of 78% nitrogen and only 21% oxygen. Your lungs take up the oxygen and just breathe the nitrogen back out. If you were paying attention to the math there, you noticed that it doesn’t quite add up to 100%.

From Scientist to Shareholder: Why do it?

Scientix

Urgent need for STE(A)M. The growing effects of climate change, loss of biodiversity and resource scarcity will require societal change and new technical solutions based on new scientific research. It is therefore vital that students see the benefits – for themselves and their societies – of learning national sciences such as biology, chemistry, and physics.

Marble Maze STEM Challenge

Smore Science

People of all ages find mazes to be fun, but did you know they are also good for your brain? As you solve the path through a maze, your brain is busy reasoning, remembering, and problem-solving. Just like any skill, the more you practice, the better you will be at solving mazes. One type of 3D maze is a labyrinth. It consists of a tray with different pathways for a marble to travel.

Seeing Sound STEM Challenge

Smore Science

If you have ever experienced a thunderstorm, you have learned a few important things about sound. First, sound travels more slowly than light. The lightning strike you see during a storm is followed by thunder several seconds later, depending on how far away the lightning was. Another thing you may have learned is that sound travels in physical waves through the air.

Don’t let high school students revise – make them start from scratch

Jacobs Physics

Greetings from the NSTA conference in Chicago. Today’s post sprung forth after I attended a session about “chickenology” – two Ohio science teachers who are also chicken farmers use the creation of a gravity-fed chicken feeder as an engineering design project. They bring their chickens into school to test the designs. Fantastic. I attended the workshop alongside Abbie Mills, Woodberry’s engineering teacher, and we got to talking about the design process in the high school classroom – how the chi
