STEM 350 STEM Resources Identification 1. Intel Education STEM Resources http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/education/k12/stem.html This website is extremely useful for educators who need math, science or STEM ideas. There are 3-6 sample mathematics, science and STEM project units for each of the k-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 grade spans. Additionally, power points, activity templates, and assessments are attached to each project unit. These 12-day unit plans include essential questions, materials, and EL teaching strategies. 2. EPA: United States Environmental Protection Agency http://www2.epa.gov/students This website has different subsection including science & technology, and Laws & regulations. Under the science & technology tab provides homework help, classroom resources, project ideas, lesson plans, community service projects, science fair experiments, and videos about the environment. Specifically, topics under the science section include: air, climate change, ecosystems, energy, health, pesticides, waste, and water. This website can also be translated into Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean. 3. Middle School Science http://middleschoolscience.com This website contains lesson plans and resources for teachers who teach science in grades 5-8. My favorite part of the website is under the section titled, junkyard wars. They are friendly competitions where students engineer the best project (with guidelines) and compete against their peers. Additionally, projects, lessons, and experiments pertaining to chemistry, earth science, life science, properties of matter and space science are also available. 4. Middle School Chemistry http://www.middleschoolchemistry.com This website has 6 chapters of varied science lessons plans, activities for students, worksheets, assessments and a multi-media section. Topics include, Matter- solids, liquids, and gases, changes of state, density, periodic table and bonding, the water molecule and dissolving, and chemical change. Lessons within the chapter contain engaging videos that can provide background information, probe student thinking, and knowledge for both students and teachers. This website can also be translated into Spanish. 5. Dream Up The Future http://teachers.egfi-k12.org This science and engineering website provides many resources for k-12 teachers. Lesson plans; class activities, k-12 outreach programs, web resources, and current education news are all available. These resources are clearly organized, and easy to search.
6. Buck Institute for Education
http://bie.org This website defines project-based learning. This website connects with people across all forms of social media.

I would be able to use these experiments in my classroom to convey ideas to students. This website also has rubrics for grading and evaluating students for science-project display boards, graphing analysis, and bibliographies and research plans. 9. National Science Teachers Association http://www.nsta.org I heard about this site through my BTSA mentor. We actually attended the 2014 December conference in Long Beach, California. This site provides information for teachers, administrators and coaches. This science website is for 6-12 science teachers. There are books, articles, and online journals for educators to browse. Curriculum planning is also available, along with conference dates. 10.
