Bringing Better STEM Education to the Rural South

ED Surge

Think Like a Scientist The lessons focus on chemistry and physics, two “gatekeeper” subjects that are typically seen as more difficult, Schneider says. They also set up a randomized controlled trial, which is designed to measure whether the intervention worked and changed science learning and achievement, Schneider says.

How Minecraft Teaches Reading, Writing and Problem Solving

Ask a Tech Teacher

It’s fascinating that today’s game playing youth want a set of rules they must beat, parameters they must meet, levels (read: standards) they must achieve, and a Big Goal (think: graduation) they can only reach after a lot of hard work, intense thinking, and mountains of problems. Which they love. Do you see what I’m doing?

What is Mastery Learning and How Do You Implement It Effectively?

Cool Cat Teacher

Jon Bergmann, author of the Mastery Learning Handbook talks about how he uses mastery learning in his chemistry and physics classrooms. The genesis of this was when an exchange student showed up to my class second semester, the high school chemistry class. And I said, she said chemistry before and he said no.

Chemistry with LEGO® Bricks. An Innovative Method for Teaching Chemistry

Scientix

On the one hand, students have not yet developed the necessary ability to abstract in order to study infinitely large elements such as astronomical concepts or infinitely small ones such as atoms; on the other hand, schools do not have sufficiently equipped laboratories in order to safely carry out experiments in chemistry and physics.
