      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.

    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.

    The Engineering component is in the part of the activity in which the students use the grid paper to construct rectangles, squares, parallelograms, and triangles and then develop the formula for the area of each based on prior and/or practice knowledge. For example, they know that they can calculate the area of the rectangle or square by simply counting the number of square centimeter boxes inside the figure. They are then able to develop a formula for the parallelogram by cutting off a triangular section from one side of the parallelogram and reattaching it to the other side. This results in making a rectangle and thus they know the formula for these two polygons is the same. Then, they can take a square or rectangle and simply cut it in half to make a triangle. So a triangle with the same dimensions (base and height) will have half the area of the square/rectangle.

    In this lesson, the engineering component is the students making the different polygons on the Geo-Boards, using the rulers to measure their areas and perimeters, and then comparing the results of making the different shapes and sizes of these polygons.

    Good science teachers capitalize on the "aha" moments and work hard to help students not only understand science, but also foster a lifelong learning in science. Why is this so important? Because science is the one subject that encompasses everything in life and helps students be curious, ask questions, and make connections as to why the world exists as it does. It is the backdrop for understanding our world, and helps us to explain and appreciate it in new ways. 1 Science is the "S' in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. We define STEM education as the preparation of students in competencies and skills in the four disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math). A successful STEM education provides students with science, math, and engineering/technology in sequences that build upon each other and can be used with real-world applications. STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators. Innovation leads to new products and processes that sustain our economy. This innovation and science literacy depends on a solid knowledge base in the STEM areas. It is clear that most jobs of the future will require a basic understanding of math and science-10-year employment projections by the U.S. Department of Labor show that of the 20 fastest growing occupations projected for 2014, 15 of them require significant mathematics or science preparation. - See more at: https://www.isa.org/standards-and-publications/isa-publications/intech-magazine/2010/september/why-stem-education-is-important/#sthash.WOLuwEXC.dpuf

  • Inside education circles concerned with STEM, the silo approach creates a very incoherent conversation, yet one with growing urgency. A colleague of mine stated STEM was really trying to fill the jobs of the future. I would agree with that statement if it was made five years ago; today, though, I argue the future is already here, and we are unprepared. Educationally, we imagine STEM instruction as creating the next innovators, the superstars. We look for highly proficient students and try to increase their interest in these fields so that w

      I think this is a really good, quick summation of what STEM is all about.
  • STEM education can be an interdisciplinary or trans-disciplinary approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world problem-based and performance-based lessons. At this level, STEM education exemplifies the axiom "the whole is more than the sum of the parts."
