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…

Tracy N. Vassiliev; Douglas J. Gardner; David J. Neivandt – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2024
This STEM research project asks middle school or high school students to work towards creating ecologically friendly packaging. Packaging that can be composted instead of thrown away and collected in landfills and oceans like plastics. This inquiry uses nanocellulose and focuses on water permeability. The fibers of nanocellulose can be dried to…

Richards, Allison Hart; Ercan-Dursun, Jale; Suh, Jee Kyung; Hand, Brian; Fulmer, Gavin – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
Abstract concepts, such as gravity, may provide the perfect opportunity to bring phenomena into the classroom. As a knowledge generation strategy, summarizing can foster that opportunity. Using phenomena and summary writing together might help student learning since it requires making connections between their ideas and words to explain the…

Koman, Greg; Curran, Mary Carla; Ramsey, Andrée L.; Bower, Amy S.; Furey, Heather H. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
Ocean currents play an important role in regulating the Earth's climate by redistributing ocean heat around the planet. One important climate phenomenon that includes several large ocean currents is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which is the process of warm surface currents in the North Atlantic Ocean moving to the Arctic to…

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…

Curran, Mary Carla; Ramsey, Andrée L.; Bower, Amy S. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2021
Oceans play an important role in weather and climate through transfers of heat and moisture to the atmosphere, and by moving heat and climate-relevant molecules like carbon dioxide around the globe. Energy also transfers from the atmosphere to the surface of the ocean, traveling down through the water column creating ocean currents that transport…
