  1. Integrating S.T.E.M. Using NASA Resources Mrs. Sharon Mora Technology Integration Specialist School District of Philadelphia

  2. Session Goals • Understanding of S.T.E.M. initiative • Accessing NASA resources for S.T.E.M. integration • Searching for resources • Interactive modules • On-line telescopes • Space Weather • Flight Simulator

  3. What is S.T.E.M. • STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics • 2001 Judith A. Ramaley, National Science Foundation • STEM Education attempts to transform the typical teacher-centered classroom by encouraging a curriculum that is driven by problem-solving, discovery, exploratory learning, and require students to actively engage a situation in order to find its solution. • Revolutionizes teaching by integrating technology and engineering into math and science.

  4. NASA Resources • 4 divisions: • For Public • For Educators • For Students • For Media Go to NASA.gov

  5. NASA Resources • 4 divisions: • For Public • For Educators • For Students • For Media

  6. NASA Resources • For teachers: • Content knowledge • Lesson Plans • Educators guides • Videos Let’s Explore – for just a few minutes! Direct your browser to NASA.gov then click on Teachers *Don’t miss NASA eClips:

  7. NASA Resources • 4 divisions: • For Public • For Educators • For Students • For Media

  8. NASA Resources • For Students • Talk to an expert • Play and Learn (K-8) • NASA Kids Club (K-5) • Look at images • Research information on missions and current topics • Homework help Let’s return to NASA.gov and look at what students have available.

  9. Let’s Explore NASA.gov • Browse through the media, educators, and student pages and compare and contrast with the colleagues around you. • Take 10-15 minutes to explore • Report out on interesting areas and/or differences between NASA divsions.

  10. Visualizations • Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio: • http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/index.html • NASA eClips: NASA eClips™ are short, relevant educational video segments. These videos inspire and engage students, helping them see real world connections. To access use Nasa.gov then Educators then scroll, eClips will be found on the left side OR use this link http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/nasaeclips/

  11. Math: • Space Math: http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov • Practical Uses of Math and Science: http://pumas.jpl.nasa.gov • SMART Skies - Flight Simulator: http://smartskies.nasa.gov

  12. Science: • NASA Science – near and far: http://science.nasa.gov • Eyes on the Solar System – telescope: http://eyes.jpl.nasa.gov/index.html • Space Weather: http://sunearthday.nasa.gov/swac/gettingstarted/
