Social media guidelines for ages 13 and older, including posting responsibly.

Light from the sun, even during eclipses of the sun, is harmful when viewed directly. In this module you learn about how students can observe the daytime sky and eclipses in a safer manner.

Many hands-on STEM activities and demonstrations require the use of a heat source. The challenge is to determine the appropriate heat source based on safety while still meeting the needs of the activity.

Planning your STEM program and activities will take some thought and time, but the results will be much richer learning and deeper understanding (safely) for your students.  Designed for elementary educators.

Like science labs, STEM Labs (science, technology, engineering, and math) require STEM lab safety and security measures, with an emphasis on safety training, personal protective equipment (PPE), standard operating procedures, engineering controls, and supervision. While hand and power tools can be found in STEM labs, many students and teachers use these tools without receiving proper safety training.

For students going into general science courses. Covers basic procedures and policies necessary to ensure the safe operation of their science laboratories. In this course we investigate common safety protocols and specific topics, such as developing a safety mindset, GHS, and heat sources.

In this module you will learn about the difference between a safety acknowledgement form and a safety contract.

There are a significant number of students who have been diagnosed as either hard of hearing or deaf.

Not all students arrive in your classroom with the same levels of experience, academic, physical, social or emotional achievements.

Every student is entitled to equitable access to education. In this module we will look at some strategies and best-practices that you can use in your science and STEM program to ensure that students with additional needs are successful.

Explore strategies to support students with Autism Spectrum Disorder that have been successful for other educators in science and STEM.

This module will provide some insights in how to help students who may have dyslexia.

Explore strategies and their applications in your classroom to better support students with visual impairments.

School personnel have a legal and ethical responsibility to recognize and respond to suicidal thinking and behavior. Schools must have clear policies and procedures for what to do, as well as trained school-employed mental health professionals and crisis response teams.

Safety protocols and safety demos for table saws.

In this course you will explore some of the common building blocks, or frameworks that exist that can help you and your students achieve your curricular goals in a safe manner, even in a distance education model.

Explore key recommendations that have been tested and revised in the traditional distance education model.

The module on temperature rising will help students explore the concepts of heat using their mini-research stations.  Temperature Rising takes students on a unique—and fun—path of inquiry as they investigate the impacts of heat on our environment by conducting student-designed experiments. Get ready to take your students on a path of self-discovery about heat.
