- Listing of STEM Resources K-12 to utilize within the classroom environment. Great site to explore to get ideas
- "PBS offers all Americans the opportunity to explore new ideas and new worlds related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning through television and online content. On-line broadband access and digital media are dramatically changing the opportunities available to the nation’s educators improving STEM education. "
- NASA developed resources for educators and students.
- Interactive Math and Science Simulations
Extension 2: Why is it that water molecules sticks together?
For the assessment 2/13/2015 - Extra Credit! Be able to identify how polarity can affect how well different molecules "stick" together. Run the simulation below and identify the difference between Low Polarity and High Polarity based molecules.
Use the interactive simulation and share your thoughts. Additional information is on Schoology.
The link to the following simulation to utilize with today's lesson Atomic Models Introduction - Plum Pudding Model vs. Rutherford Atomic Model. Remember to follow the directions given to you (if using iPad use HTML5 / Schoology Version or use Puffin web browser on your home screen):

Objectives:
- Identify how technology and science relate to one another.
- Identify new prototypes and inventions for 2014
- Identify how inventions show innovation through informative texts
Technology and Science are dependent on each other for their existence. If it wasn't for the science behind LCD screens, the electromagnetic spectrum (microwaves), sound science, and many other fields within science, cellphones / smartphones would never exist. Today your task is to research new inventions for the year 2014! Make sure to fill out the main form in Schoology.
