Free Access to Defined STEM Resources

Defined STEM is Defined Learning's solution for providing real-world relevance to students and teachers for exploring connections between 21st century learning skills and all subjects. All netTrekker subscribers have FREE access through March to Defined STEM's 1,000+ resources, which stimulate student understanding of science, math, engineering, and technology studies, and demonstrate how these subjects can be applied across the curriculum.

Following the March free trial, netTrekker subscribers will continue to have access to three select Defined STEM resources, which can be found by doing a keyword search for Defined STEM:

Defined STEM: The Business of Optics With this Defined STEM activity, students will view a video on optics and then answer questions on how optics are used and what business opportunities are presented by them.

Defined STEM: Lunar Gravity and Mathematics Students will use mathematics to explore the difference between the force of gravity on the moon versus other objects in the solar system.

Defined STEM: Wind Turbines and Society Defined STEM provides a video and activities in which students will examine the societal arguments for and against wind farms.
