Teaching About Heat and Thermal Energy: A STEM Professional Development Module
Consider how videos, interactives, and other forms of digital media can help teachers and students explore content related to heat and thermal energy in an engaging and dynamic way, in this STEM Professional Development module for middle school physical sciences teachers. Using a self-paced interactive lesson format, teachers review science concepts, take notes, and engage with other short assessment activities. At the end of the module, teachers complete a final assignment that reflects their developing perspective on the value and affordances of media in science instruction.
