This STEMonstration Is On Target!

Your STEM students haven't been on a field trip in ages and they've had enough! They're taking extreme measures "to compare and contrast the characteristics, composition, and location of comets, asteroids, and meteoroids" by planning an interstellar field trip. Their rocket is almost ready, but they haven't started planning their spacesuits and you're a little worried that they don't fully understand the dangers of space travel. Join GPB Education and an intrepid potato for a STEMonstration about how meteoroids don't play nicely in space and what you can do to save the taternaut!

By coordinating with families, relying on routines, keeping things simple, focusing on formative assessments, and adapting hands-on labs, teachers can approach distance learning in a way that engages and inspires students in science without overwhelming them or their caregivers. Join GPB Education as we explore our many free online resources that support these five flexible strategies for stimulating science learning in a virtual and/or hybrid environment.

Utilizing engaging activities from PBS LearningMedia, participants will become familiar with collections from PBS hit shows that allow students to build their design and iteration skills while investigating and solving problems in engineering and aerospace. All of these resources are bookended with digitally integrated instructional strategies.
