Schools are coming to a close, our students are still mostly stuck inside, and deep down students are yearning to expand their knowledge in STEM. The following websites are perfect for bringing STEM learning and fun into the homes of our students. Many of them are able to be accessed using cell phones, and all of them are web-based sites, so students can access them using a computer or Chromebook. 

 

 

 

Kids are able to choose the materials they have at home, and the website gives them ideas or possible suggestions to design and build. The site is very user and kid friendly with pictures next to each of the material words, so English Learning Students will also enjoy using this site! 

 

 

                                          

 

Mystery Science is a website full of incredibly engaging lessons that include videos and hands on projects! They are for K-6, and the content can be easily searched. There is a subscription for all of the lessons, but they have created completely free lessons for any to access. 

 

                                          

The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum has a wide range and collection of videos, articles, and activities for kids to enjoy! Any space and flight enthusiast would get excited about the activities on this site. 

 

 

 

This site has two seasons of steam experiment fun led by Mister C. He makes learning about science fun, and the students will be able to recreate these experiments at home. They are 60 second clips that keep engagement levels of students. 

 

 

 

Kinetic City looks more like a video game than learning, so the students love this! Students are able to play from a collection of science learning games, and they can even crate a password and save their scores with each game. This is by far one of the favorites. 

 

                                        

There are so many games to choose from the collection they have. Students are able to listen to the storybooks, play the games, build rocket ships, and so much more. All the activities are tied with an image, so this would be a great website for ELLs. 

 

 

 

Code.org has been one of the most popular and free websites that kids, parents, and teachers have access to. Students are able to choose full curriculum they can go through at their own pace. They can also do Hour of Code which is a shortened course that can be completed in one hour. Code.org has made coding accessible and fun for all.
