The STEM resources provided at https://www.sciencebuddies.org are absolutely
fantastic! Science Buddies includes varying STEM resources from lesson plans,
to project ideas, to information for parents, and even student led activities. The
website is very organized and includes labeled tabs that help you navigate the
site very easily.
The “Teachers” tab includes a variety of different hands-on
STEM Activities. It includes full lesson plans on varying STEM topics that are
FREE! Scientific method worksheets and assessments are provided, along with
rubrics and guides to plan a Science Fair, and worksheets to explain the
engineering design process. Science Buddies also offers the opportunity to
connect through Google Classroom, allowing the use of varying Science Buddy
resources and STEM assessments and quizzes. The “Project Ideas” tab is helpful
for both teachers and students. The tab allows you to type in any key word and
grade level and it will pull lists of different project ideas relating to that
topic so you can easily incorporate it into the classroom, or in a science
fair. It also provides you with a “Project Guide” that helps you get started
with the project and helps you create experiments. The guide also gives you
information on how to analyze your data and communicate the results. It even
provides a Project Guide directly related to engineering!
The “Students” tab provides students with opportunities to
try out some fun science activities on their own. If students are really
interested in STEM, they can research different Science Competitions and become
involved. The “Ask An Expert” tab allows students to research questions they
cannot quite find the answer to, and learn a lot of new information along the
way.
Science Buddies also includes a “Parents” tab so parents can
also be involved in science projects with their students!
Overall, this website is a great resource for anyone
interested in STEM and it provides a variety of helpful activities and
information for everyone.
