From the Center for Innovation in Engineering and Science Education (CIESE) at the Stevens Institute of Technology comes this extensive collection of resources for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in the K-12 classroom. Interested readers may browse materials in this collection by subject, including Life Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Data Analysis, and more. There are lesson plans, classroom projects and activities, and unit plans. For example, in Earth Science, readers will find Musical Plates: a Study of Earthquakes and Plate Tectonics. This activity allows middle school and high school students to map the location of earthquakes around the world using data to identify patterns and relationships between earthquakes, plate tectonics, and volcanoes. Meanwhile, the Population Growth Project (in the Data Analysis section), teaches students about the factors that contribute to global population growth and how to use exponential models to predict future growth. Many of the lessons and activities on this site feature a Student Gallery, allowing students to share their observations and work with others around the country.
