<p>Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics): Blue-bots in Special Education. There is an introduction to Blue-bots and coding using a Smart notebook program. Blue-bots are introduced and then the student is encouraged to program / code the Blue-bot to move from 1 to 2, and around a square. There is also activities to take the Blue-bot on a journey.<br /> To accompany this there is a worksheet where you can do the above activities using paper and sticking the visuals for the coding on to a coding sheet.<br /> There is a Comprehensive lesson plan, which outlines the above activities giving Learning Intentions as well as highlighting 21st Century skills.<br /> There is a handout on Blue-bots with technical advice, lesson plans and resources list.<br /> There are visual symbol boards for the coding of the Blue-bot.<br /> This activity was created for students with special needs (SEN) but can be used as a valuable resource for early years.</p>

<p>This is a set of four hands which introduces Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) into the special education classroom. My school was part of a Stem pilot project and we trialled a range of technology across the school and then presented to a Special Education meeting. These handouts were made for the meeting.<br /> It looks at Blue-bots, Spheros, Virtual Reality and Scratch Jr. Each handout has technical advice, lesson plans with learning intentions and a list of resources.</p> <p>These activities were created for students with special needs (SEN) but can be used as a valuable resource for early years.</p>

a powerpoint i made for a lecture on the science of special effects this explains how to make a number of cheap movie effects good for STEM clubs etc

<p>This is a ready made display in PowerPoit format complete with links, qr codes, pictures of neurodiverse individuals associated with STEM and some information about those individuals. This would make an inclusive and positive display for any educational environment.</p>

<p>I have used these discussion bubbles to aid communication and partner talk in a wide range of lessons.</p> <p>Contains symbols from Widgit Inprint 3 software.</p> <ul> <li>3 bubbles - giving a new opinion</li> <li>3 bubbles - agreeing</li> <li>3 bubbles - disagreeing</li> <li>3 bubbles - building/questioning an opinion</li> </ul>

Plants Special topics describe plant adaptations, tropisms and hormones. The adaptations section goes over the specialized leaves, stems and protective adaptations. The tropisms cover how plants respond to water, light, tough and gravity. The various hormones are described in terms of how they affect the plants, fruit and leaves during various times of year.

Many of the challenges we face such as finding new energy sources, responding to the health needs of an ageing population and developing sustainable food supplies rely on innovative uses of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). STEM skills and qualifications open the doors to exciting and rewarding careers…what can parents and families do to help their children make the right choices and keep their options open?

This inquiry-based STEM unit aligned with standards takes students of all abilities into natural and/or virtual settings to observe flight. Watching butterflies, an albatross, and a dragonfly, students learn the science of flight and apply it to engineering designs for paper airplanes. Formative assessment is used to assess prior knowledge and what students learn from experiential learning and inquiry. After completing the unit, typical and gifted students are challenged to design a paper airplane unlike any previously designed. Gifted students are also encouraged to investigate how observing flight in nature is being used to create robotics and drones

As part of the U.S. government's commitment to Let Girls Learn, First Lady Michelle Obama and the Peace Corps have formed a powerful collaboration to expand access to education for adolescent girls around the world. Educating girls is essential to healthy and thriving communities but, globally, 62 million girls are not in school, and barriers to adolescent girls completing school are particularly significant. In some countries, fewer than 10% of teenage girls complete secondary school.<br /> This program will address that challenge by empowering local leaders to put lasting solutions in place. Peace Corps Volunteers who live and work at the grassroots level will serve as catalysts of community-led change, and every American can get involved and make a difference.<br /> https://letgirlslearn.peacecorps.gov/<br /> <br /> FOR GIRLS' SCHOOLS AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR GIRLS<br /> <br /> Let Girls Learn STEM: Elementary Science<br /> <br /> States of Matter:<br /> <br /> This science lesson is for young students and older students with special needs.<br /> <br /> Ice, Water, and Steam<br /> <br /> Goal: <br /> Students will learn about the states of matter through observation and engagement.<br /> <br /> Objective:<br /> Students will physically interact with matter at three different states - solid, liquid, and gas - by identifying snow or ice as a solid, water from melted snow or ice as a liquid, and steam from melted snow or ice as a gas.<br /> <br /> Outcomes:<br /> 1. Student provide information to create a concept map on a white board or other display area showing the three states of matter, using the students’ pictures and/or photographs, and images from the video.<br /> 2. Students work collaboratively in small groups or pairs using their collective pictures/photos showing the states of matter to create a “states of matter” timeline.<br /> 3. Students make their own picture or video books referring to the concept map and their group discussion timeline.<br />
