Schiele Museum

Join Hailey at Schiele Museum of Natural History as she learns about reptiles and their many special features that enable them to find prey and survive predators.

8.L.4.2 Explain the relationship between genetic variation and an organism’s ability to adapt to its environment.

Corning

What do zeroes, ones, light and glass have to do with communication and games? Hailey visits Corning to learn how glass fiber, not much larger than human hair, is made and used in everday life.

8-NI-01 Anaylze different ways that data is transferred across a network and the role of protocols in transmitting data.
8-CS-03 Systematically identify and fix problems with computing devices and components

NC A&T State University

From math in clothing design to technology in designing prints on the fabric, we wear STEM everyday! Today Brielle tries her hand at textile design at NC A&T State University.

68-CS-02 Design projects thatcombine hardware and softwarecomponents to collect and exchangedata.

NC State University

How does light carry information? Today at NC State University, Zion bends light and learns about multiple types of light, its benefits, dangers and uses.

6.P.1.2 Explain the relationship among visible light, the electromagnetic spectrum, and sight.

Brunswick Community College

What are molecules and how do they combine to make compounds? Why are some molecules more attracted to certain other molecule than others?

Today Riley and Dr. Kim Jones separate H2O back into 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen and some of the traits of molecules, including flammability.

6.P.2 Understand the structure, classifications and physical properties of matter.

6.P.2.1 Recognize that all matter is made up of atoms and atoms of the same element are all alike, but are different from the atoms of other elements.

6.P.2.2 Explain the effect of heat on the motion of atoms through a description of what happens to particles during a change in phase.

6.P.2.3 Compare the physical properties of pure substances that are independent of the amount of matter present including density, melting point, boiling point, and solubility to properties that are dependent on the amount of matter present to include volume, mass and weight.”
