STEM Resources: STEM-Works






STEM-Works is an awesome website that has tons of STEM resources for teachers and students. The website is easy to navigate and organized by various subjects, including weather, medical innovations, space, animals, video games, and many more! Each subject tab includes articles and fun activities for students.  STEM-Works allows children to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through topics that they are individually interested in. Each category also introduces cool jobs related to the subjects, which engages students in career choices at an early age. Interested in life under the sea? Use the “Under the Sea” tab to explore various videos, activities, articles, and cool jobs all about marine life!
It is important to allow the students to research topics on their own, instead of a teacher providing students with all the same information. STEM-Works allows students to explore the same information, just specific to the subject that interests them.
Teachers can use the “Advocacy” tab to explore virtual tours or simulations that allow students to explore different locations and projects based on their interests. This tab is also categorized by grade level from elementary school to undergraduate! The “Activity” tab provides fun lesson plans categorized by subject. The lesson plans are free and include background information, lists of materials needed, the procedure, and different variations of the lesson so that you can make it your own.

STEM-Works is a great website that provides great STEM resources for all ages and all interests. You can find the link to the STEM-Works website below!
