Help me foster the skills my underrepresented students will need to pursue a career in STEM. I want to provide my students with hands-on activities that are centered around human body life processes and medical testing. These materials will allow my students to explore simulations on concepts such as homeostasis, fetal development, testing of preventative drugs; to name a few. Students collect and interpret their own data to formulate concepts, as well as develop and use models to mimic the work of scientists. My goal is to make the content relevant, engage students’ interests in STEM and stimulate them to inquire about the natural world as they interact with science in a more meaningful way. I realize that STEM learning is largely about designing creative solutions for real-world problems but I have students who have a hard time remaining on task during class activities, even though they are interested in the content. Therefore these materials are crucial because they contain easy-to-follow instructions, engaging illustrations, manipulative models and safe simulations of authentic laboratory experiences. I know it will take time but I am confident that my students will grow and develop when they are able to investigate various topics and behave as true scientists do.
