General STEM Educator Resources
The STEM Activities & Labs resource has been developed to provide an additional support for middle school and high school teachers. It is comprised of a selection of hands-on activities and labs for students to investigate concepts within Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, Engineering and Computer Science. Activities have been selected for their cost-effectiveness and ability to teach scientific concepts with minimal time investment.
 |
Each activity description includes: - Summary
- Lesson objectives
- Approximate set-up time
- Approximate classroom time
- Difficulty level
- Link to the digital resource
This resource also includes activities that explore scientific inquiry and experimental design, instructions for improvised laboratory equipment, chemical substitutions, and STEM career resources.
