NEW!!! Learn How to Do a Science Fair ProjectNew Video Series from NASA JPL
Just in time for science fair season! The Education Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has released a
video series designed to take teachers, students, and parents through the sometimes mystifying process of crafting a
science fair project.
The six-part video seriesfeatures JPL scientist Serina Diniega, engineer Arby Argueta, and educator Ota Lutz, who
team up to take viewers step by step through the project design process, from generating an idea to communicating
the final results in an attractive display.
Students learn about one of the hardest steps in the process - generating an idea - from the perspectives of scientific
investigation and engineering design, discovering how to observe and ask questions about the world around them
that can serve as starting points for their projects.
The videos also cover common areas that students often overlook while designing their projects, such as asking a
testable question that examines just one concept, and considering elements that could affect an experiment and
factoring them into the results.
Visit theJPL websiteto watch the series, download related resources, and find notes for teachers and parents.
Web Sites Worth Exploring:

including business, law and education, it is only beginning to emerge in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics) education as an alternative to the traditional lecture-based approach.
In this workshop, participants will use STEM PBL web-based instructional materials called Challenges to enhance
students content knowledge, critical thinking skills, and ability to work in teams. The STEM Challenges are based
on authentic industry problems.
Materials for the session were developed through two National Science Foundation projects under the direction ofthe New England Board of Higher Education, PHOTON PBL and STEM PBL. THE RI STEM Center is pleased to
offer this workshop, which will be presented by members of the projects development teams. The materials present
rich tasks, embodying the intent of the developers of the Common Core State Standards.
As a result of taking part in this workshop, participants will:
Learn how to incorporate problem based learning into the classroom. Practice web-based STEM PBL Challenges developed through the PHOTON PBL and STEM PBL projects
and learn how the web-based STEM PBL Challenges can be used in the classroom. Have access to professional development materials and on-going staff support from the New England
Board of Higher Education (NEHBE)
Fee for the workshop is $25.00. A light breakfast will be provided.
