Health in Our Hands
Designed to meet the Next Generation Science Standards, Health in Our Hands connects the science classroom to the community to give youth and adults an understanding of modern concepts in genetics. Using project-based learning, students investigate public health concerns and use these real-world contexts to appreciate the importance of both genetic and environmental factors in their risk for diseases.
Carbon TIME
Carbon: Transformations in Matter and Energy (Carbon TIME) is a science education program that includes publicly available teaching units, assessments, teacher professional development, and teacher networks based in local education agencies. Since 2015, 145 teachers and over 25,000 students from across the U.S. have participated in Carbon TIME. Evidence demonstrates that participating students achieve challenging three-dimensional learning goals consistent with NGSS.
SOLID Start
The SOLID Start project provides a unique opportunity for K-2 teachers to develop their professional skills by integrating science and literacy. Through the use of unit and daily driving questions, multi-modal investigations, read alouds, writing activities, and synthesis discussions designed specifically for young children, teachers can engage students with exciting units of study that build both oral language skills as well as an understanding of scientific phenomena. Teacher Tips provided throughout the curriculum offer support to ensure successful implementation.
Developing Quantitative Knowledge-in-Use about Energy - new project!
We are delighted to announce that CREATE for STEM has been awarded $1.9m from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) for a study that will focus on high school physics students and building their "kno
