STEM Career Synthesis Paper- explore a career & connect to Habits of Mind
I teach an Applied STEM course, and as one of my semester exam options, students can elect to write a paper on a STEM career. In their paper, they must describe the career and how it's a STEM career, and then they must explain how five of the 16 Habits of Mind (identified by Costa & Kallick) relate specifically to the career. While I use this as an exam, it would be great to include in any STEM course at any time of year. Rubric included.See the preview for a sample student paper--not a perf

Chemistry Lab: Inquiry of Phase Changes and Temperature
In this lab, students write hypotheses and procedures as they investigate how temperature changes during a phase change. This lab identifies a major misconception. Students believe that adding heat to water will always increase its temperature. In this lab, they learn that they can add heat and the temperature will remain constant during a phase change such as melting or boiling. This is an inquiry lab so a lab procedure is not given. Students use their own ideas to answer questions about wh
