    I love this site! I used to use this with my MiID students when I taught science. I would teach them about reading labels, calories, what's good and what's not so good. It was always interesting to see their reaction when I would have them to select a meal from McDonald's and we would look at the calories and nutritional information.

  • progress has been too slow.
  • “student-centered instructional strategies can positively influence students’ learning, achievement, and knowledge retention, as compared with traditional instructional methods.”
  • making lectures more interactive, having students work in groups, and incorporating authentic problems and activities into coursework as being superior to traditional lectures, which remain the mainstay approach to teaching in too many classrooms.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • use of superior teaching strategies can lower the attrition rate among STEM majors
  • improved undergraduate STEM teaching can provide future K-12 teachers with a much greater mastery of the science they will teach, while demonstrating a better model for how science is best taught and learned.

      Research shows how instructional changes can improve overall STEM learning.

    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.

    Graph theory is a visual way to represent relationships between objects. For instance, a family tree is the simplest of these. Graph theory is the study of graphs in computer science and mathematics. Software engineers use graphs to represent communication networks, data organization, and graph theory to market products.

    An interesting article about why students may not pursue STEM related degrees
  • Robin Pelt on 06 Feb 15
     
    Interesting article. My son started off as an engineering major. But after his first semester, he decided that engineering wasn't for him and he changed his major to education. It wasn't that he didn't know about STEM. He even participated in STEM internships in high school. I think the "M" ran him away. He didn't want to deal with all the math that goes with engineering.

      Use SuperTracker to log food intake and get an analysis This is my favorite because it has many options to analyze your food intake and calorie expenditure. Students can keep a food log and get a detailed report which shows if their diet is meeting all recommended guidelines.

    In this lesson students learn the equation needed to calculate bone mineral density. This is a calculation that biomedical engineers make a lot. The student will be motivated to learn more about the use of logarithms.

    It's great that so many companies are making opportunities for students to try out STEM careers through internships. That way they can find out what STEM careers interest them before they graduate.
