STEM resource - Science Buddies

Science Buddies is a website that provides various STEM resources to teachers, students, and parents. For teachers, there are lesson plans, classroom kits, guides to using google classroom and engineering design as well as a step by step introduction to the scientific method. The lesson plans come with teacher guides and worksheets that all align with the science standards so teachers can use the materials with confidence. The lesson plans are fun and engaging and are well mapped out for ease of use. Some examples include balloon cars, bending plant roots, junk bots, electric play dough and many more!
Science Buddies even has tools to re-vamp the traditional science fair to make it focused on problem-solving and engineering while integrating science and math concepts. The website also has an extensive list of careers in STEM and an "Ask an Expert" forum where students can submit questions about different projects and get guidance and troubleshooting.
This website would be a great one to utilize in the classroom because it offers resources for students and teachers. Teachers can use the many lesson plans and project guides and become STEM experts in no time and the students can receive guidance for their STEM projects and explore real-life careers that apply what they have learned. Most of the basic kits are only about $15 and could be reused yearly so teachers get the most out of their purchases. When a teacher makes an account for free, they can access lesson plans that are easy to follow and list out everything they need as well as the corresponding science standards. This website is a great one to change from basic science to a world of STEM in the classroom.
