Assign students the Virtual Heating Ice Lab when teaching states of matter or phase changes. Use the Punnett Square Squares Simulation to predict the traits of offspring by filling in Punnett squares to determine whether peas will be yellow or green, round or wrinkly. Use the Water Filtration Challenge during environmental science lessons focused on water conservation and management. Have students compare their virtual filter designs, then transition to a hands-on lab where they build a simple water filtration system. Introduce students to the scientific method by using the Design an Experiment tool. This activity encourages students to design and conduct experiments that test people's ability to complete tasks under different conditions.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

If you are still getting familiar with STEM (STEAM or STREAM), learn all about them through the resources in this collection. What we once referred to as STEM (educational curriculum that combines science, technology, engineering, and math) has evolved into STEAM and now STREAM. STEAM includes the original four areas and has integrated art into the mix. STREAM takes it further and adds a layer of reading and writing. You will find helpful information about STEM, STEAM, and STREAM in this collection. In addition, we have curated web resources for all grade levels to help as you plan your activities (lesson plans, interactives, and more).

Be sure to take some time to explore this site before sharing it with students due to the different kinds of activities available. You may want to share specific games with tech-savvy students first, then let them be the teacher to show classmates how to play. Include games as part of blended learning activities, computer centers, or online lessons. For example, use Symbaloo Learning Paths, reviewed here, to create a lesson incorporating one or more science games, video tutorials, quizzes, and additional activities. Enhance learning by asking students to work in groups to create science games using Scratch, reviewed here. Many examples and tutorials are available on Scratch to get you started.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
