Returning to college after years away from formal education can feel like a new beginning, as well as a daunting challenge. What sparks students to return? Once they’re back, how can colleges help them stay on track? And what informal networks and resources do students create on their own? Those are some questions we explore in the second episode of our podcast series Second Acts.

It started with a free STEM Sports® lesson sample request in 2019. Soon after, F. K. White Middle School would begin an enrichment effort that brought the world of sports together with STEM. While this was a new challenge for the Louisiana-based school’s eager students, little did they know what other tests awaited them. First was Hurricane Laura, which touched down on August 20, 2020, in the middle of the global pandemic.

I’ve worked with a lot of 4th and 5th graders making a lot of circuits, so I have some advice for teachers new to teaching circuits in class. These are my 6 (not so) electrifying tips! Before we begin, ALWAYS WORK SAFELY! We want electrifying in the “thrilling” way, not the literal way. Tip #1: Explore. Provide opportunities for open exploration.

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.

There are MANY physical and chemical changes you can observe, but here are 5 of my favorites for upper elementary. Many of these ideas include a focus on conservation of matter because the two concepts go hand in hand. 1. Soda Surprise Investigation. This scenario is provided at the beginning of the chemical change unit. Students discuss the scenario then investigate what occurs when soda and milk are mixed.

Let’s face it: students frequently enroll in AP Environmental Science class to either fill up their schedules or meet some credit requirements. It’s often seen as a repetitive life science class to pass time. In. The post AP Environmental Science Projects [Top 4 Learner-Centered Ideas] appeared first on STEM Geek.

It is a STEAM project that includes multidisciplinary topics about Mars. Students did brainstorming and shared ideas on how it would be possible to form a liveable life on it. There are many aims, such as: improving language skills, creating awareness about Mars and building friendships among the students in the project by using English as the language of communication.

When you’re new to teaching, you sometimes miss opportunities that you later discover. When I was teaching 5th graders about evaporation, freezing, condensation, and melting, I focused on the terms heating and cooling. There’s nothing wrong with using those terms, but in order to be MORE correct, I changed my terminology to removing thermal energy and adding thermal energy.
