It just goes to prove that active teaching is essential in all subject areas, not just those involving STEM. Students need to be taught critical thinking skills, not just memorization of facts.

Working with his friend, graphic designer Josh Salcman, Shmuylovich created Virtual Nerd. The tutoring subscription service, found at virtualnerd.com, uses hundreds of online videos — similar to YouTube — to guide students visually through math and physics concepts, such as expressions, polynomials and factoring a trinomial.

This is an article by a 3D printing company (so obviously they have their own agenda), but I did think it presents some interesting uses for 3D printers for various subjects.

This is a neat lesson for teaching students in physical science classes about simple machines, how they work, and how they benefit society. Students have to design their own simple machines that would assist in lifting an elephant onto a train car (although an different scenario could easily be substituted). Requires very few materials.
