I'm a little sad that all the fun and fascinating science experiments are coming to an end...this is the very last one! I hope you have enjoyed this

Right now I’m in the process of creating a series of STEM projects for students who are studying Ancient Civilizations.. Next stop, Ancient India! 🙂 During the summertime in Ancient India (and still to this day), a monsoon would come every year, raining buckets and buckets of water. In Eastern India, a second monsoon would

STEM Challenge- students use materials to design a working model of Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion- the Newton’s Cradle. This STEM Challenge is designed for upper elementary or middle school students.

Hurricane STEM Challenge: Teach students about hurricanes in a hands-on way with STEM! This challenge was created to help my third graders better understand hurricanes and the impact that they have around the world. Students tacked this problem by taking on the role of an engineer designing a hurricane proof house. #stemchallenges #stemactivities #hurricaneactivity

Build a device with paper, tape, string, and paper clips to pick up a ping pong ball from a distance in this fun engineering lesson plan!

Why bring character education to STEM classrooms? The STEM ideals found throughout this series aim to identify the special way scientists, and really all STEM Pros, think and behave so we may better practice the traits ourselves – in (and hopefully beyond) STEM classes! Yes, growth mindset is an important piece, but it doesn't tell the whole story! Click through to the blog post to learn more!

Try one of these free engineering design challenges and engineering projects for high school students to use the engineering design process.

Teacher friends, It’s typical for students to begin losing focus in the classroom as the end of the school year is approaching. Real learning does not have to go out the window just yet, you just have to mask it such a way where it doesn’t quite seem like learning to students… but in fact, still is! Do your

Last year, I started a new Space Club program at four middle schools. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, I searched the web for ideas and curriculum to implement. I soon became excited to find great resources like NASA and TeachEngineering , but I was
