STEM Education Resource Center
Welcome to PBS Teachers STEM Education Resource Center! Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Resources for Grades PreK-12 PBS offers all Americans the opportunity to explore new ideas and new worlds related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning through television and online content. On-line broadband access and digital media are dramatically changing the opportunities available to the nation’s educators improving STEM education. Our recent national educator survey (Grunwald, 2009) indicates that more teachers than ever before are turning to digital media resources to help their students understand concepts, practice new skills and engage in exciting, authentic learning experiences. Explore some of our great STEM offerings for grades PreK-12. NOVA Science Now: The Secret Life of Scientists, "Becoming the Professor". The PBS Teachers STEM Education Resource Center is here to introduce you to selected STEM education resources. STEM Education News

Free STEM Activities!! – Science Demo Guy What could possibly be a better combination than FREE and STEM?! Ok, maybe there are a few, but It’s a pretty amazing paring. So I’ve compiled links to ALL of my free STEM resources on this page to make them super-easy for you to access! STEM Activity Challenge Hoop Glider Competition 3rd-5th grade STEM Project for Third, Fourth and Fifth grades. This activity challenges students to build a glider that will glide as far as possible. STEM Activity Challenge Jumping Bugs K-2nd grade STEM Project for Kindergarten, First and Second Grades. This activity involves putting an effervescent tablet inside a film canister with a little bit of water. STEM Activity Challenge Levitating ping pong ball 6th – 8th grade STEM Middle School Classroom Project Students will work in groups to discover the phenomenon that occurs when a ping pong ball is placed above a straw and air is blown through the straw. STEM Activity Challenge Marshmallow Catapult 3rd-5th grade STEM Station Activity: Troll Bridge

Siemens We Can Change The World Challenge Click here to find the latest information about the 2015 Siemens Competition including the announcement of finalist, student & judges bios and project abstracts. Launched by the Siemens Foundation in 1999, the Siemens Competition is the flagship initiative of the Foundation and a symbol of our commitment to education in the United States. The nation’s premier competition in math, science and technology, the Siemens Competition promotes excellence in math, science and technology. <Advanced Lab Teaching Resources> This page provides a map to our online teaching resources for advanced laboratories at Haverford College Physics. We have three labs that effectively fall in this category. Most unusally, our sophomore-level labs cover much of the material usually taught in Jr. lab. Our majors then take a semester of upper-level junior or senior level advanded lab. Suzannne Amador Kane I also maintain a website with more information about medical physics-related labs. Sound Lab (intro level) We also have a related curriculum on science ethics that I will be posting shortly. AAPT listserv on advanced lab materials Lab Manual for Nanoscale Science and Technology (University of Wisconsin's MRSEC)--has excellent online materials with many good ideas. Physics 211: Laboratory in Electronics, Waves & Optics This course meets weekly for 3 hours per week. Physics 212: Quantum Physics Lab This course meets weekly for 3 hours per week. Physics 316: Advanced Electronics and Computer Instrumentation

OER Impact Map We aggregate and filter data that relates to our research hypotheses.To see some of the evidence we have gathered visit our OER Impact Map. There you will find up to date reporting on each of our hypotheses as well as summaries for different countries and help on using the site. Links are also provided to OER maps by others as well as free tools for data visualization and mapping, The full range of maps available on the site: You can learn more about the maps by watching recent presentation(s): Farrow, R.

Exploratorium: the museum of science, art and human perception Construction of STEAM Curriculum Model and Case Design in Kindergarten American Journal of Educational Research. 2019, 7(7), 485-490. DOI: 10.12691/education-7-7-8 Abstract Learning of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) have been recognized as key levers in the progress toward high quality preschool education for all kids. 1. STEM education is a national strategy proposed by the United States to improve national competitiveness and innovation ability 1. As educators and researchers realize the importance of STEAM education, more and more countries are extending education from primary education to preschool education, such as America, Australia, South Korea, Singapore and so on 3. Therefore, this integrative literature investigates how STEAM education in kindergarten is studied. 2. 2.1. From a pedagogical point of view, Traditional lecture-style teaching and standardized evaluation cannot satisfy the experience of educators and children in STEAM activities 7. 2.2. 3. 3.1. 3.2. 3.3. 3.4. 3.5. 4. 4.1. 4.2. 4.3. 4.4. Figure 1. 5.
