Sparticl - What Are You Curious About? (STEM)

Sparticl - What Are You Curious About? (STEM) | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
The best science on the web -- a place where you can search, learn, share, contribute, and earn points and rewards!
Beth Dichter's insight:

Sparticl is a website that promotes STEM and is geared to teens (and open to anyone). Sections include:

* Living Things

* Matter & Energy

* Tech & Invention

* Body & Brain

* Earth & Science

You can do a search for any topic and then filter the results by type which include:

* Text (article/site)
* Video

* Interactive/Quiz

* Game

* Images

* Scientist Profile

* Hands-on Activity

This site is sponsored by Twin Cities PBS and provides many opportunities for students to interact online, allows them to earn points, make suggestions and more. This is a new resource to me that I will be using with students.

"Explore the home of human ingenuity online. Find out about our objects, arts projects and medical collection, play educational games and discover climate science. Plus check out our blogs, a tabloid history of science and the latest contemporary science news from the Antenna team."

Beth Dichter's insight:

If you are looking for science games check out the Science Musuem (in London) and their online games. A few are listed below and many more may be found on their website.

* Ouch, a new game, allows you to "wage war on pain". 

* Rizk -  In a world not too different from our own a Plant lies sleeping...can you manage the threats to its survival? A look at climate change.

* Thingdom - Choose your Thing, nurture your Thing, then take the mating challenge and breed new Things. Learn more about DNA

Many of the games have links to additional resources on the website. The initial page that is linked to also has links to many other resources available online, including a Codebreaker Challenge; Museum Objects - a selection from their curated objects (over 200,000) organized by gallery; Brought to Life, a site that explores ~18 themes including Birth and Death, Medical Traditions, and Controversies and Medicine; Climate Science and many more.

109 Common Core Resources For Teachers By Category
Beth Dichter's insight:

TeachThought asked readers to take a survey and many requested resources for Common Core. This is their first post that provides a wide range of resource for English, Math and Science. Each section is split into three sections: Articles, Journals and Videos...so if you are looking for some resources that have been vetted this might be a good place to begin.
