These easy-to-implement strategies can make science, technology, engineering, and math lessons come alive for elementary students.

By coordinating with families and keeping things simple, K–8 teachers can guide students to engage in meaningful science lessons at home.

By asking students to explore the history of scientific discoveries, we get them to view their world with more wonder—and more skepticism—and condition their minds to think about causes and effects.

Science, technology, engineering, and math are more important than ever, so we’ve put together a list of books to encourage girls to persevere in these subjects.

Stereotypes and cultural norms dampen girls’ interest in STEM, but educators can counter the disparities with small changes to their practice.

Students can develop computer science skills starting in the early grades—even without a computer—in project-based learning and other units.

By allowing student interests to guide projects, teachers can open up the world of STEM to learners who have previously been sidelined.

Teachers can use elements of the Harry Potter books and movies to inspire students of all ages to engage with scientific concepts.
