The survey was designed to obtain national benchmarks on a wide range of health issues, and to enable changes in health to be monitored over time. Information was collected about: the health status of the population; health-related aspects of lifestyle and other health risk factors; and the use of health services and other actions people had recently taken for their health."

Students will survey how paper is being used and conserved in their school.  They will create a conservation plan, communicate the plan to the school, and then survey to determine the efficiency of their plan.

Paul Andersen (of BozemanScience.com) explains how natural selection is a major mechanism in evolution. Also included in this resource are links to worksheets and a full transcript of the video.

Transcript added from YouTube subtitles. You can use this to write your own worksheet or quiz.

Students use an iterative process to create an unplugged code to connect needs of plants and animals.

The student will create an action plan to begin an online campaign to promote the importance of conservation of energy. The student will integrate . Within the action plan the student will: address the platform that will be used to promote the campaign, specific strategies or ways that households can conserve energy, create and design a campaign logo, and address negative backlash such as cyber attacks or cyberbullying against their campaign.

The STEM team is working on narrowing down the overwhelming amount of free STEM resources and highlighting two offerings a day per week. Each week is archived as a tab so educators can revisit.
