    This is a great tool for teachers to find great tools for Earth Science education- it provides lesson plan ideas as well as great interactive tools/resources that can be incorporated into the lesson plan. It is specific to Earth Science Education, but I think it is a great site for teachers to find a complied list of resources for individual topics in the discipline.

    A useful way to illustrate how the three main types of rock are related to one another and how changes to rocks happen in a recurring sequence is the rock cycle. This is a great interactive feature that teachers can weave into their lesson plan or allow students to work on during home or class time. This same website www.learner.org has content for other Earth Science fields as well as other disciplines: math, science, history and literature.

    I just came across an amazing resource. This link has lesson plans, class activities, k-12 outreach programs, web resources, you name it, it is probably on the website. And best of all it all has to do with engineering and is broken down into grade level appropriate activities.

Evidence Points to Benefits of Active Teaching in STEM Education | The White House - 1 views

  • 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. 
    • Cabell Miltenberger
       
      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.

    An interesting article about why students may not pursue STEM related degrees
  •  
    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.

    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.

      Increase in # of STEM related jobs demands more emphasis on STEM related education programs. STEM programs are a good fit for community college & university collaboration.

      Use My Plate to see breakdown of food groups
  • ChooseMyPlate.gov provides practical information to individuals, health professionals, nutrition educators, and the food industry to help consumers build healthier diets with resources and tools for dietary assessment, nutrition education, and other user-friendly nutrition information.

    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.

      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.
