STEM Women in KidLit - STEM Women in KidLit
Grades
3 to 8tag(s): STEM (393), womenchangemaker (101), podcasts (191)
In the Classroom
Use selected podcast episodes to introduce students to women working in different STEM fields. Before listening, ask students to identify what they think someone in a particular career does. After listening, have them compare their predictions with what they learned about the guest's education, daily work, and career path. Pair an episode with one of the guest's children's books to create a cross-curricular reading and STEM activity. For example, after listening to the interview with veterinarian and author Sara Levine, students can research animal health and create an animal-care infographic using Whimsical Mind Maps, reviewed here. Students can also use Adobe Podcast, reviewed here to create and share a podcast featuring women in STEM. The book recommendations make this podcast particularly useful for librarians developing STEM-themed reading lists and teachers planning lessons that connect science and literacy.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Math.now - Math.now
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): homework (27), calculators (39), artificial intelligence (372)
In the Classroom
Share this tool during a geometry or algebra unit to help students self-verify their work and deconstruct difficult multi-step problems. After students attempt a set of practice problems, they can use the photo-scan feature to check their answers and read the step-by-step explanations for any they missed. For a collaborative activity, have students work in pairs to stump the AI by creating complex word problems based on real-world scenarios. They can then input their problems into Math.now and compare the AI's logic with their own manual calculations. To extend learning, ask students to curate their best original problems and the AI's solutions onto a shared digital workspace using Milanote, reviewed here. Enhance learning by asking students to choose a challenging concept they mastered with the tool's help and record a brief tutorial or math talk to share with the class using a screen recorder like Vmaker, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Math & Statistics Simulations - PHET Interactive Simulations
Grades
K to 12tag(s): probability (134), functions (60), charts and graphs (183), estimation (35), area (51), circuits (19), equations (128), problem solving (284), decimals (90), fractions (173), numbers (117), STEM (393), simulations (47)
In the Classroom
Introduce PhET simulations during a math station rotation or as a flipped learning module. For a flipped lesson, assign students a specific simulation, such as Area Model Multiplication, to explore at home, allowing them to build conceptual familiarity before entering the classroom. During in-class station rotations, set up a "Discovery Lab" where students use the simulations to test hypotheses and solve challenges. Once they master a concept, have them use Awesome Screenshot, reviewed here to record a short video explaining their mathematical reasoning as they manipulate the tools. These recordings serve as a powerful formative assessment, showing exactly how a student arrived at an answer. To further extend the activity, have students post their videos or screenshots to a shared Padlet, reviewed here as a gallery walk. Asking students to share their thinking with others allows peers to see different strategies for solving the same problem and develop their own methods.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

tag(s): test prep (68)
In the Classroom
After watching a video on SAT or ACT math traps, students can work in small groups to create their own "trap" multiple-choice questions with misleading answers. Groups exchange questions and explain how to spot and avoid the trap. Assign students different Aktaned videos to watch independently. Each student then teaches their topic to a small group using a whiteboard or slide deck made with Google Slides reviewed here or Canva Edu reviewed here. Set up stations with practice problems featured in the Aktaned videos. Have students rotate through stations, applying the strategy introduced in the video and timing themselves to simulate test conditions.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Distribute the student-friendly guided notes provided with each lesson to keep learners engaged while promoting active participation and organized thinking during instruction. Use the editable slide decks and pacing guides to adjust lesson pace or depth based on your students' needs. These can also help scaffold concepts for struggling learners or extend challenges for advanced students. Share lesson slides or discovery tasks in advance or after class for flipped learning or catch-up. This allows students to review content at their own pace while staying aligned with classroom instruction. Turn lesson examples into group tasks where students work collaboratively to solve and present their findings, promoting mathematical communication and reasoning.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Challenge students to explore a PhET simulation related to a current science topic, such as circuits, gravity, or states of matter. They can make predictions before interacting with the simulation and record their observations to compare with their initial ideas. Give students a scavenger hunt worksheet with specific challenges to complete in a simulation (ex., "Find a way to make a circuit light up" in the Circuit Construction Kit). Students design a virtual experiment using a PhET simulation. They choose a variable to change, make a hypothesis, run multiple trials, and record their results in a data table or graph before sharing their findings. After using a PhET simulation, students discuss or write about real-world applications of what they learned (how forces affect roller coasters, how molecules move in different states of matter) and present their findings using Visme, reviewed here or Google Slides, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

After watching a ClickView math video, present students with real-world problems related to the video's content. Have them work in pairs or small groups to solve the problems using the concepts they learned. Host a "Math Video Showcase" where students present math tutorial videos they made to the class, allowing for peer feedback and discussion. After viewing a video about art techniques or historical art movements, students can create their own artwork using the methods discussed. Following a ClickView science video, organize a hands-on experiment related to the video's content. For example, if the video discusses ecosystems, students can create mini-ecosystems in a jar. After watching a video on a literary topic or a story, have students create their own short stories or scripts incorporating themes, characters, or settings from the video. Share the stories using a digital storytelling tool such as Book Creator, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
