Welcome to STEM-Works, a resource for teachers, mentors, parents, STEM professionals, volunteers, and everyone passionate about getting children eager to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math.

Here are some virtual experiments in chemistry and physics.

A great video about atoms and molecules, using the macaroni salad example.

Awesome video about mixtures.

Here is a stockpile of free articles from past issues of ChemMatters and the teacher's guides that accompany them. These would be a great supplemental resources for chemistry and physical science teachers.

Chem Collective is a project designed and maintained by Carnegie Mellon University's chemistry department and the National Science Digital Library. On Chem Collective you will find virtual labs for chemistry experiments, simulations, visualizations, tutorials, and auto-graded problems. Students and teachers can search the site by resource type or by chemistry topic.

Welcome to the Global 2013 STEMx Education Conference, the world's first massively open online conference for educators focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and more. The conference will be held over the course of three days, September 19-21, 2013, and will be free to attend! STEMxCon will be a highly inclusive event that will engage students and educators around the globe and will encourage primary, secondary, and tertiary (K-16) educators around the world to share and learn about innovative approaches to STEMx learning and teaching. The call for presentations has been issued. Register as a member of this conference network to be kept informed! See the conference information and welcome HERE and the menu links to the left and at the top of each page.

A contest for kids -- design e helicopter!

At this web site you will find diagnostic instructional tools for middle and high school teachers and students. These tools, which include web-served assessments, are aligned with National Standards and Benchmarks in science and mathematics. Resources in this project have been developed and tested by teachers and are based on research into the teaching and learning of math and science.

PALS is an on-line, standards-based, continually updated resource bank of science performance assessment tasks indexed via the National Science Education Standards (NSES) and various other standards frameworks. Take the guided tour to become familiar with PALS.
