Help me support students in all levels of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Marine Science, Environmental Science, and Physical Science with engaging resources to both review concepts and increase interest in science related fields. Due to teacher and sub shortages, there are often times in class that students are not engaged with learning. In these circumstances, students seem to get sucked into their phones and lose valuable learning opportunities. The goal of this STEAM Pathways grant is to offer science-based games and manipulatives for students to use as centers when there is not direct instruction or work has been finished. The resources requested are high school level science-based games that will help students review content via play. According to Dr. Karyn Purvis, child development researcher, scientists found that it takes about 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain, however- when learning though play, it only takes 10 to 20 repetitions. Think of the power of playing a game involving the periodic table or creating molecules with magnetic balls! In a poll of 2,000 adults commissioned by The Genius of Play, 32% reported that the toys and games they played with directly influenced their future career path. High school students are at a critical point in their life when they decide if they are interested or not in STEAM related career fields. This is typically decided upon whether they enjoy or don’t enjoy their high school classes in the subject. We need to provide our students with opportunities to engage in play and find the fun in learning about advanced sciences.
