STEM Activities for Middle and High School

Recently, the U.S. Department of Education announced the initiative “YOU Belong in STEM,” which hopes “to galvanize the broad STEM education ecosystem . . . for all young people from PreK to higher education.” It recognizes the importance of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education along with the role high-quality resources will play in expanding science literacy beyond a classroom’s zip code. 

When it comes to high-quality STEAM resources, countless teachers have already been stepping up to the plate to create the resources they need and elevate their students’ learning. These dedicated Teacher-Authors have then shared out their STEM activities through TPT for more teachers to use with their middle and high school students. Here are some examples of their engaging, rigorous, and inclusive STEAM resources that you can use in your classroom too.

20 Science Career Projects and Activities that Engages

• Engagement , Planning , Science

Sometimes a topic such as science careers can be a bit dry. And, often times you aren’t exactly sure how to “spruce it up” so students are engaged. Today, I have 20 science career project and activity ideas that I think would help you when it comes to planning! Choosing one (or more) of these ideas will definitely help make things easier when it comes to this topic!

Science Career Activity Ideas

I’m going to first start with the quick and simple activities. Sometimes we just don’t have a ton of time to dedicate to a big project. If you’re one of those teachers, then this is the section for you!

(This post assumes that you have taught students about science careers in some form, either through researching them or through the use of text. If you don’t have access to information on science careers, you can purchase my reading pieces on TpT here or my personal store here .)

1.) Have students discuss or debate on which career is the best. Make sure they justify why. It’s super important that their reasoning is more than just “I like it more.” This helps them practice using evidence to support their answer, a common core requirement.

2.) Create a comparison chart on butcher paper – either one for each group or as a whole class and discuss the various characteristics of each career. You could compare the education they need, the pay they earn on average, the tools they typically use, and their job description for instance.

3.) Have students participate in a snowball fight . On a piece of paper have students write down either the career description or the career name. Then they crumble up the paper into a snowball and toss it. Each student picks up a snowball near them and reads what is written inside. Then going around the room, have students read what they have and determine which career it is or describe the career.

4.) Have students create a resume for the career. They may have to make a few things up or be a bit creative, but as long as it aligns with the science career itself, it’s okay. This also provides them with the practice of seeing a resume and using one. You may need to model it first or show an example.

5.) Play games related to careers. Create questions that you can place around the room related to each science career you’re studying. Then students move around and answer them. You can use a gallery format or a scoot version. If preferred, you could put the names of careers on the walls and have students move to the name of the career when you name off a characteristic. (Similar to 4 corners).

Science Career Project Ideas

These project ideas do not have to be over the top. Instead, they could just simply require students to research one particular career and then present it in a unique way.

6.) Create a poster. Alright, so maybe creating a poster isn’t the most unique way, but if it’s a movie poster it is. Have students image that they are going to create a new movie centered around the life of this science career! Now they need to create a movie poster that is going to really excite people to come to see it! That puts a whole different spin on it. (Of course remind them there are still things they need to include, such as the characteristics of this science career.)

7.) Have students create a picture book that explains the career to little children. Sometimes when you have to teach others of a smaller age/group, it really helps you understand.

8.) Have a career day . Have your students dress up as their science career. Then have them either come to class as that scientist explaining their career on career day.

9.) Have your budding scientists create a song about his or her career. This doesn’t have to be anything fancy. They just need to include the important characteristics. They can do it to the tune of “jingle bells” or something. Even a rap is fine.

10.) “Creating a difference in the world” Nobel Peace Prize . Have students create a fake award or trophy for their scientist for creating a difference in the world. Have them decide how they earned it (based on what they do in their career). If desired, have them include the acceptance speech of the scientist that includes the characteristics of the science career.

11.) Bring a little math into the equation! Have students take a survey and then graph the results . As long as it’s related to the career somehow, it’s all golden. It can be the number of people in each career in the U.S., the pay for each career, men vs women for a career, surveying the class of their favorite careers, etc.

12.) Have students create a flipbook with all the important characteristics. Quick and easy!

13.) Have students create a game around the exciting life of their science career. Make it even more engaging and have them create an imaginary video game !

14.) Have students create a magazine cover , a fakebook , or instasnaps , such as those found in my Exit Tickets full pages . They have to get creative and imagine the role of the scientist. You can go really big and have your students create a FULL magazine with articles and everything.

15.) Have students create a science career interview . Students imagine that they are sitting right next to a scientist in that career and interview them. Pair students up and have them actually “perform” this in front of the class.

16.) Create trading cards . Have students draw the scientist on the front and on the back describe the characteristics of the career. Then you can use these for sorts, playing games, or just studying tools. These trading cards are part of my science careers resource that you can find on TpT or in my personal store .

17.) Pretend there is a shortage on their scientist. Have students create an advertisement to persuade people to enter that career path. (Or create a “draft” for people to join, like in the Army.)

18.) Provide a fashion show . Have students walk on the runway showing off their tools. Remind the students they have to find a way to incorporate all the characteristics in their walk. This may mean they somehow hand out “fake” dollars to the audience with the amount they make on it, have an announce describe what they do as they walk and carry their tools, etc.

19.) Create a stand-up timeline . Have students create a new “page” for each characteristic. Make sure it’s colorful.

20.) Have students create a mobile and use symbols to represent parts of the career. Then on those symbols include the important characteristics and information.

Whew! That was a long list!

Hopefully, there is something here that you can find useful the next time you are teaching about science careers in your classroom. If you don’t teach about science careers, I strongly encourage you to, as it really helps students relate to the real-world application piece and it also encourages students to take a career in science.

How to Avoid Plagiarism LibGuide

According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, to "plagiarize" means:

• to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
• to use (another's production) without crediting the source
• to commit literary theft
• to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.

Project Career Research: how to set yourself up for success in choosing a new career

July 20, 2020

Launching a new career can be an exhilarating process, but also a complicated one. One of the most important steps is the first one—choosing which career to pursue. Whether you’re a college student getting ready to join the workforce for the first time, a mid-career professional looking to make a career switch, or someone returning to the workforce after time away, the challenge is the same—how do you know which career to pursue, and how do you get started?

This article is designed to help you explore potential careers in an analytical way. You’ll learn how to choose the career that’s right for you, and determine exactly what’s required to land your first job in your new chosen field. You’ll do this with a process called Project Career Research .

Project Career Research Overview

In Project Career Research you’ll speak with five professionals working in the career you’re exploring. This will help you develop a well-rounded overview of the field, and a plan for approaching different companies in your job search. 

The goal of Project Career Research is to answer three big questions.

Question #1: What is it really like to work as a [job title]?  

A particular career might sound exciting when you see it featured in a press article, or when you read the job description, or when you see the salaries highlighted on a hiring site. But if you’re going to actually work in the field, you need to understand the day-to-day realities of the role. Conversations with industry professionals can tell you what articles and career sites can’t—what it’s really like to have that job. 

What percentage of time do you spend in meetings, focusing on your own projects, writing emails, planning, etc? Who are the people you work with the most, and how do you interact with them? What skills and personality traits are required for success? What time of day do you usually eat lunch? What’s your stress level? Do you talk to lots of people every day, or are you on your own all the time? Do you collaborate often, or very rarely? How much freedom do you get to decide which projects you work on? How do promotions happen? 

These “real life” concerns can make the difference between loving a job, and just going through the motions. Talking with someone who is already in the field is a great way to understand the actual reality of life as a data scientist, a marketer, a social worker, or whatever role it is you choose to pursue.

Question #2: What skills do you actually need to succeed in this job?

Job descriptions can be very helpful, but they can also be very overwhelming. It’s unfortunately all too common for people to abandon pursuing a particular role, because they look at the long list of requirements in the description, and conclude they’re not qualified. The truth is, these sections are often just laundry lists of every single thing a hiring manager might wish to see in a candidate. They don’t necessarily reflect what’s actually required to succeed. Talking with people working in the field is an excellent way to learn what really does and doesn’t matter.

Questions #3: What do you need to land that job? 

There is a difference between being able to do the job, and being able to get the job. As an applicant, it’s your responsibility to prove that you’re qualified. So, it’s important to know what hiring managers are looking for from a candidate. Being credentialed for a particular skill can be very beneficial for some jobs, but not matter at all for others. Some jobs require that you have a portfolio of pre-existing work to show, while other jobs will ask you to complete a new task during your interview, and prioritize this above your portfolio. Some roles require very specific technical skills, while for others the ability to learn quickly and soft skills are much more important. Before you fully commit your time and energy to your job search, make sure you know exactly what it will take to get the job, so you’re ready when the opportunities come.

At this point, you may be wondering why you have to speak to real people—can’t this all be researched online? While there are many great online resources available, there is no substitute for the real insights and opinions that emerge in direct conversation with industry professionals. Take this step, and you’ll enter your job search well-prepared, and with confidence. Avoid it, and you risk everything from resume missteps and inadequate interview preparation to spending money on the wrong classes or training programs. As an added bonus, when you make contact with industry professionals, you’re expanding your network in your future field, which will be especially helpful once you begin the actual job search process.

How to find people to speak with

Your existing connections . An important first step is to consider your own existing network. This could be your LinkedIn network, other professional circles, or people in your shared community spaces—parent groups, civic groups, volunteer organizations, sports teams, and more. Is there someone you know who’s already in the field? Before you became interested in, say, mobile development as a possible career, you might not have consciously registered the fact that you actually already know a mobile developer! Auditing your own network is a great way to quickly discover people with whom you might be able to schedule an informational interview.

Professional groups. Search LinkedIn, Facebook, and Meetup for groups connecting professionals in your target field and reach out to individuals within those groups. Generally, you’ll find that people who are proactive enough to join professional groups are also the kinds of people who enjoy talking about their careers, and are eager to share their knowledge and their experience.

Here’s a task for you. Search professionals on LinkedIn by your target job title, and your geographic location. Review 100 profiles, and from there, choose 20 who feel most relevant to your career objectives. Reach out to all using the template below. If they respond, follow up right away with a thank-you note, and reiterate your interest in a conversation.

LinkedIn outreach template:

Hi <name>, I discovered your profile while researching digital marketing. Your experience at <company> is very interesting and I’d appreciate an opportunity to ask you a few questions, as I am exploring a career change from office management. Thank you in advance for connecting with me!

Tip #1: Make scheduling easy for the other person by suggesting a specific time to speak, and offer to work around their calendar.

Tip #2 : If they don’t reply, don’t take it personally. Just move on with your list.

Tip #3 : On LinkedIn you can only access profiles of people who are in your network (i.e.,  your 1st-degree, 2nd-degree, and 3rd-degree connections), as well as fellow members of your LinkedIn groups. You can expand your network by adding more 1st-degree connections and joining groups.

Preparing for your conversations

To make the most out of each conversation while being respectful of everyone’s time, do your research in advance, so you can ask valuable questions that only they can answer for you (as opposed to those you can get answers to through an online search). Not only does this help ensure a productive conversation, it demonstrates your respect and appreciation for the other person’s experience, and their generosity in taking the time to meet with you

I know you transitioned from teaching high school to a role as an instructional designer, and I’m trying to do the same. But also noticed that most people in similar roles tend to have formal training in instructional design. How were you able to get recruiters to notice you?

There are many ways to do research but you should always include:

• LinkedIn – review profiles of the person you are speaking with (and potentially their colleagues) to understand their backgrounds and experiences.
• Website of the company the person works for, to get a sense of everything from product catalogues to company culture.
• Industry associations and organizations – staying current with industry trends demonstrates your active engagement with your chosen field and its community, and helps to ensure your career questions are specific and relevant.

Tailoring your questions to be specific to each individual is essential, but it’s also important to prepare a set of core questions you can ask in every interview, in order to gather baseline information. For example:

• Can you describe a day in the life of a [role]?
• What are the on-the-job skills required to be successful in this role?
• Are there similar roles I should look into as well?
• How does someone with my background land a first job in the field?

During and after each conversation

Set the context for the meeting. Begin with an overview of why you reached out and what you are hoping to learn from the conversation. This enables the other person to focus on what’s relevant and will make them feel comfortable, as they’ll understand the goals. Remember: as the one who initiated the conversation, it’s your responsibility to establish both the tone and agenda. 

Introduce yourself. To ensure a productive conversation, it’s important that they understand who you are—this helps to establish context for your questions. Spend a couple of minutes in the beginning explaining why you reached out and what your goals are. Remember that while you are there to learn, this person might be able to connect you to a professional opportunity at some point. Be prepared to speak about your skills, accomplishments, and personal qualities that can bring value to an organization. You might not know how your experience transfers onto this new role but you should demonstrate passion and confidence that you can learn and grow quickly. Keep it short and focused.

Let them speak. Since you are there to learn, the primary focus of the conversation should be on the other person. Some people might be more talkative, while others may need more input from you in order to engage. Ideally, they should be speaking for 50% to 80% of the conversation. Don’t be afraid of short pauses, and be respectful and patient if they need time to gather their thoughts. 

Send a thank-you email. You have created a valuable connection, so stay in touch! A thank-you email is a great way to strengthen the connection by reiterating your appreciation for their time and following up on any action items that came out of the discussion. Also, be sure to think through ways you might return the favor, and, as appropriate, share resources, connections, or thoughts they might find valuable.

Wrapping up your project

Now that you have completed five conversations with professionals working in your target career, it’s time to go back to your main three questions and provide answers based on what you’ve learned.

Upon completing that step, you should have a clear sense of whether your target career is actually the one that you want to pursue. You should know if there are opportunities in your area, and you should have a good sense of what skills are required for the role. 

If all that is in place, then you’re ready to proceed!

Your next steps will involve addressing gaps related to job requirements (skills, credentials, degrees, experience) and building an optimal resume. We’ll cover those topics in future posts. Until then, good luck choosing a great career path, and we’ll look forward to seeing you on Coursera when you need to learn new skills!

NSF awards $38M to strengthen research infrastructure, build partnerships and improve STEM workforce development

The U.S. National Science Foundation has awarded researchers in Maine, Mississippi, New Mexico, Puerto Rico and Rhode Island roughly $38 million through the  Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research  (EPSCoR), which promotes the development of research competitiveness among 28 targeted states and territories, called jurisdictions. The awards, facilitated by the NSF  EPSCoR Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement  (E-CORE RII) program and NSF  EPSCoR Research Incubators for STEM Excellence Research Infrastructure Improvement  (E-RISE RII) program, aim to enhance research facilities, form new networks, support workforce development and accelerate economic growth in parts of the U.S. that have historically received less funding for scientific research.  "The NSF EPSCoR program is critical to ensure that we are creating opportunities and investing in innovation in every part of the United States," said NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan. "These new E-CORE RII and E-RISE RII awards will positively impact our nation by advancing the breadth of STEM research, research infrastructure and workforce development while catalyzing opportunities for research and education in EPSCoR jurisdictions and beyond." The E-CORE RII opportunity aids in building capacity in targeted research infrastructure cores within a jurisdiction's research ecosystems. Capacity building may include developing, enhancing and sustaining research administration, facilities, workforce development, partnerships, community engagement and economic development. 

The E-RISE RII opportunity supports research teams and products in a scientific area linked to jurisdictional science and technology plans. It seeks innovative proposals for sustainable networks to enhance STEM research capacity in a selected research area that has the potential for sustainable socioeconomic impact within the jurisdiction. E-RISE RII projects aim to build research competitiveness, develop a skilled workforce, promote diversity and inclusion and integrate research efforts.

E-CORE RII and E-RISE RII were established in response to the 2022  Study of the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research , the  Envisioning the Future of NSF EPSCoR  report and the "CHIPS and Science Act of 2022." This round of awards will catalyze economic growth by propelling laboratory research to scalable commercial products and bringing together expertise from multiple institutions to unravel complex scientific challenges. The awards will strengthen workforce development through educational initiatives that will help economically disadvantaged students and promote diversity, inclusion and accessibility by cultivating scientists and researchers from different backgrounds with various experiences and points of view. 

The awardees and a summary of each project are listed below:  

E-CORE RII: Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico Led by The University of New Mexico, this project aims to connect New Mexico's emerging research institutions (ERIs) with the broader state research ecosystem consisting of national laboratories, high-tech industries and established research universities. By strengthening New Mexico's research infrastructure, the project will foster innovation, which will lead to economic growth in critical sectors and create high-value employment opportunities for graduates from ERIs. The project will also provide the state legislature with insights on economic and workforce trends to enable strategic investments in key areas and foster a culture of inclusion and diversity, thereby broadening participation in the scientific enterprise across individuals, institutions and sectors.

Collaborating institutions (subawardees): Central New Mexico Community College, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Navajo Technical University and New Mexico State University. E-CORE RII: Rhode Island Inclusive Network for Excellence in Science and Technology The University of Rhode Island is leading this project to enable the state of Rhode Island and the Narragansett Indian Tribe and its citizens to develop and maintain a sustainable, broadly inclusive and competitive research ecosystem that supports use-inspired science and technology and workforce development. The project will sustainably develop capacity, programming, platforms and partnerships that serve and benefit institutions of higher education across Rhode Island by institutionalizing research infrastructure support programs and implementing innovative programs that lead to increased collaborations across the state's institutions. These platforms and systems will lead to an inclusive network for scientific opportunities with low barriers to entry, an increased number of students from minoritized and tribal backgrounds that flourish in STEM, and the creation of new initiatives that align with the strategic diversity, equity, inclusion, justice and access plans of the collaborating institutions. 

Collaborating institutions (subawardees): Brown University, Rhode Island College, Rhode Island School of Design and Roger Williams University. E-CORE RII: Mississippi Research Alliance The vision of this project, led by Mississippi State University, is to be a transformative force in the Mississippi research and innovation ecosystem. The project will forge strategic partnerships that harness and enhance existing human and physical assets and coordinate new investments to position Mississippi as a national front-runner in science and technology. The project will strengthen strategic governance, improve sustainable access to instrumentation and foster cross-institutional collaborations, thereby boosting cutting-edge research carried out by interdisciplinary teams and resulting in exponential gains to Mississippi's knowledge-based economy. The project's integrated approach will create a research and development ecosystem that builds strategic alliances among research and emerging research institutions, state agencies and public and private organizations to positively impact education, workforce development and the broader societal understanding of scientific endeavors.

Collaborating institutions (subawardees): The University of Southern Mississippi, The University of Mississippi and Mississippi Valley State University. E-RISE RII: Maine Algal Research Infrastructure and Accelerator The Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences leads this project to build the Maine Algal Research Infrastructure and Accelerator which will serve as a nucleus for algae-based innovation in Maine and catalyze economic growth and workforce development. This state-of-the-art research infrastructure will be used to streamline exploration of algae's commercial potential -- from individual cell-level analysis to product optimization and eventual scaling. The project will lead to the discovery of novel approaches to harness algae as efficient biofactories for synthesizing new high-value products relevant to the "Maine Innovation Economy Action Plan," while aligning strategic collaborations, including with local farmers and algal companies, to create an accelerated network to enhance the agricultural, aquaculture and pharmaceutical potential of algae in Maine.

Collaborating institutions (subawardees): Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, University of New England, Colby College, Maine Center for Entrepreneurs and Gulf of Maine Ventures. E-RISE RII: Cracking the Developmental Blueprint of Life: Omics, Computational Science, and Artificial Intelligence This project, led by the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras, will position Puerto Rico as a thriving hub for innovation and economic growth in the life science and biotech/molecular sectors. Faculty from seven institutions will come together to unravel the complexities of developmental biology by examining the evolutionary and developmental framework of butterfly divergence. The project will delve into the fundamental science of evolution and adaptation, seeking to decipher the molecular intricacies that govern cellular processes and organismal development. The novelty of the project lies in the single cell-genomic resolution around which all other molecular information will be integrated using cutting-edge computational and AI approaches. Also included in the project will be workforce development initiatives that integrate STEM education and interventions to cultivate skills for both academic and non-academic careers, in part by generating important resources for the broader scientific community and through outreach activities tailored to K-12 teachers and students. 

Collaborating institutions (subawardees): Centro Comprensivo de Cancer de la Universidad de Puerto Rico.
