By Jared Hottenstein The movie Star Wars relied greatly on a mystical ability called “the Force.”  You can’t see it.  It’s an invisible energy that interacts with everything around it.  A little green guy named Yoda uses this mystical “Force” to move objects around.  Intriguing, sure, but it’s just Hollywood special effects.  However, thanks to […] The post May the Force Be with You appeared first on Educational Innovations Blog ..read more

By Jared Hottenstein Science really is everywhere – even in a strawberry patch! But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start at the beginning. I’m afraid of lunch ladies.  They’re intimidating.  I guess you need to be if you’re dealing with hundreds of hungry kids in a small cafeteria.  As a kid, I usually kept […] The post Strawberry Patch Science appeared first on Educational Innovations Blog ..read more

By Jared Hottenstein Any teacher will tell you that kids can be noisy.  They make all kinds of sounds.  Clap their hands.  Click their tongues.  Snap their fingers.  Smack their cheeks.  Burp.  Fart.  Scream.  Sing. Most classrooms are a virtual cacophony of noises.   And where there is sound, there’s bound to be a whole lot of […] The post The Sound of Science appeared first on Educational Innovations Blog ..read more

By Jared Hottenstein In the world of STEM learning, most teachers think about designing, building, and creating. But sometimes the best way to see how something is designed is to pull it apart. I’ve always thought that science dissections were awesome. Many of my students wouldn’t agree. Dissections can get a little gross for a […] The post Engineering Dissections appeared first on Educational Innovations Blog ..read more
