Eighth-grade physical science scholars at Stewart Middle School recently explored the world of STEMscopes. The comprehensive, web-based curriculum focuses on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.
During class, students were engaged with interactive activities, investigating boundaries, components, inputs, outputs, and the types of interactions involved in electromagnetism in magnetic fields. Additionally, they were introduced to the technology of solenoids, exploring their practical applications and relevance in everyday life.
Science teacher Felicia Pope highlighted how STEMscopes support student learning, offering students interactive and engaging ways to explore scientific concepts.
"STEMscopes provides hands-on activities, digital resources and printed materials to help students gain a better understanding of the curriculum," Pope said. "It engages them in real-world activities, by accelerating student learning with visuals. Students are able to better interpret what they observe and STEMscopes help educators create a student-centered learning environment where the students get to actually embrace science."
