  • provide a certificate of completion that students screenshot for credit

Virtual Science Teachers resources are a tool in the teacher's toolbelt used to increase student engagement and science learningwhile saving the teacher precious time!

Research shows that active learning experiences, such as those that include challenges, scaffolding, immediate feedback, and repetition, improve inequity in STEM education.-MIT Teaching and Learning Lab

Ways to use VST Resources

  • Assign as independent work
  • Assign as group work
  • Go through interactives as a class
  • Extra credit for those who finish early
  • Extra review for those who are struggling

Why teacher and students love Virtual Science Teachers resources

The Opportunity

TPT: ALL RESOURCES are FREE!

Scaffolding: -breaking up new concepts so that they can be learned more easily (Education Corner)

-A variety of instructional techniques used to move students progressively toward stronger understanding and, ultimately, greater independence in the learning process (Edglossary.org)

Differentiated instruction: -the process of tailoring lessons to meet each student’s individual interests, needs, and strengths. Teaching this way gives students choice and flexibility in how they learn, and helps teachers personalize learning (Learning A to Z)
