STEM Resources: STEM-Works

STEM resources at http://stem-works.com/activities is truly a one-stop website to immerse students in their own education. With several tabs, each filled with tons of information, students can explore several aspects of science, technology, engineering, and math. Students are able to choose from several different modules that focus on areas of study such as forensics, space, animals, wind energy, etc. Students can independently move through the website to complete activities on their own, or with the help of an adult. These activities could also be explored in a classroom setting. Materials used in the activities are practical in accessibility and price. Each of the activities that I reviewed from this website involve concepts from each aspect of STEM. Beyond the activities available to students, STEM-Works also provides articles that supplement learning done in activities.

Another awesome resource this website provides is a list of field trips and events for classrooms to participate in, or even students individually. Under the advocacy tab of this website, students and educators have access to view these events and information on how to participate.
