Math & Science Spot

by Samantha Roslund, HCHS Media Specialist

Attention Math & Science Teachers and Folks Interested in Math & Science!  Check out these amazing (FREE!) new online tools that will help you enhance your lessons, develop new assignments, and engage your students.

Sally Ride Science – lesson plans and support resources for literally everything STEM-related.  Browse by topic, search by subject, or upload your own idea.

ARDUSAT – you and your students can perform actual EXPERIMENTS IN SPACE.  Use the ARDUSAT satellite to “measur[e] the surface temperature of the earth using an infrared sensor”.  Or “us[e] the UV light to see if you should be wearing SPF 10 or 75?”  Have fun!





21 GIFs That Explain Mathematical Concepts – GIFs are animated images that usually run on short loops.  From IFLScience, these GIFs are amazing at visually demonstrating complicated math concepts (including algebra, geometry, calc, trig, and more).  It would have changed my life if I had seen these when I was 15! 

      Sick Science! – a YouTube channel for SHORT science experiment videos.  Many are high-school-appropriate, some are a little young.  Check out “Make a Human Lung”, “Make a Square Bubble”, “Salt Water Density Straw” and more!

As usual, please don’t hesitate to come ask me questions about any of these tools.  I am here to help!  Reach me at ext. 8441, roslunds@apps.harpercreek.net, or come on down to the library.
