Cocke, Teri E.; Geest, Emily A.; Shufran, Andrine A. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
Mosquitoes (Culicidae) are disease vectors, which are responsible for an estimated one million deaths per year. Female mosquitoes, which need blood for survival and reproduction, collect blood with a disease present from a host, and will transmit that disease from one host to another as it feeds on additional food sources. This continuous feeding…

Bowen, G. Michael; Bartley, Anthony – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
School science is often very different from "real world" science. One important difference, and possibly the main one, is that in school science the relationships between variables have often been sanitized -- essentially "cleaned up" -- so that there is very little (and often no) variation in the data from the relationship…

Kaur, Jasjeet; Sodhi, Gurvinder S. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
It may be asserted that there is no more effective deterrent to crime than the certainty of detection. Equally true is that there is no surer way to establishing identity than by fingerprints. The detection of fingerprints at the scene of crime is therefore one of the most powerful tools available in casework investigations. However, if the crime…

Potvin, Patrice; Bruyère, Marie-Hélène; Allaire-Duquette, Geneviève; Ahr, Emmanuel; Durocher, Éric; Cyr, Guillaume; Charland, Patrick; Chastenay, Pierre – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
The "Forty Electronic Challenges" is a "discovery learning" and socio-constructivist science activity that has become rather popular in Canada. The article recalls its emergence and development. It discusses its theoretical underpinnings and how it fits into the existing literature. It then gives educators all the guidelines…

Achurra, Ainara; Zamalloa, Teresa; Uskola, Araitz – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
The purpose of this article is to describe a modeling sequence about the digestive system. "What happens in your body when you have lactose intolerance?" is the initial question that will guide the activities. Students will build a 3D plaster cast of the digestive system as part of a modeling cycle through which they are expected to…

Owens, David C.; Greer, Kania; Thaler, Mary – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
Kids are drawn to dolls and dump trucks, and crashing the two together might just be a child's favorite pastime. Who knew such a simple pleasure could serve as an accessible, compelling phenomenon for instigating investigations of force and motion. With a few inexpensive materials straight out of the toy box (literally, a doll, a dump truck, a…

Aydin-Günbatar, Sevgi – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
Recent reforms have introduced integrated science, technology, engineering, and math education (STEM) that has highlighted an interdisciplinary approach to train students as better problem solvers. In addition to STEM disciplines, art, language, and other disciplines integration are also stressed (STEM+). In this paper, a STEM+ (STEM + art +…

Richlen, Mindy L.; Curran, Mary Carla; Chadwick, Christina; Hubbard, Katherine A. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
The Earth's oceans are home to a diverse array of life, from large marine mammals to microscopic organisms. Among the most important are the marine phytoplankton, which comprise the basis of marine food webs, and also produce a large percentage of the Earth's oxygen through photosynthesis. Although the vast majority of phytoplankton are essential…

Durak, Benzegul; Arslan, Harika Ozge – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
During the unprecedented and rapid spread of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) around the World, students have been concerned about the disease as much as the rest of the global community. As a real-world problem, the COVID-19 pandemic with many different debatable facets has social and scientific components, impacts society, and shows…

Çingil Baris, Çigdem – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
A virus is a small, infectious particle that lives inside a host. Today, viruses have an important role in our daily life. The reason for this is that viruses, including coronavirus (COVID-19), are affecting many people in the world. The most important measure that can be taken to stop the spread of the disease will be self-taken measures along…

Parks, Melissa – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
Maximizing classroom time to include meaningful content-based learning with fun engaging activities that simultaneously challenge and encourage students is a hallmark of a successful school day. This article shares one instructional approach that does a model eliciting activity (MEA). A MEA is a real-world, problem-based scenario framed around a…

Davidson, Timothy M.; Sokoloski, Chasmin; Smith, Celia M. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
Herbivores are important to ecosystems because they transfer energy stored in plant matter to other organisms. However, when herbivores occur in high abundances, they can become pests and harm the plants that form the basis of food webs. Mangroves are saltwater tolerant trees found along most tropical and subtropical shorelines. Because mangroves…

Ürek, Handan – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
Germinating a seed is presumably the first experiment made by a child in his life. So, it has an important place both in child's scientific experience and understanding. Despite the significance of the experiment, the literature indicates that students possess various misconceptions related to the concepts of seed and seed germination. So, it is…

Trundle, Kathy Cabe; Hagevik, Rita; Wheeler, Laura; Vela, Katherine N.; Parslow, Michelle; Joy, David N. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
Social connections are crucial for today's middle and high school students. We address this social need through a 3-H Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Cycle. Through the Three Sisters Garden activity presented here, we teach secondary school students about biodiversity and sustainability as we integrate the arts into STEM (STEAM). Students…

Bayir, Eylem – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2019
This article introduces a science game which can be used for innovative teaching and as an assessment tool. The Shadow Races Game is designed for first and second grade students to learn the phenomenon of shadow through inquiry-based activities and questions that require the children to apply inferences from those activities. In this amusing board…
