2. Classrooms
1. Connect learning to real-world examples: Connecting science to
everyday life is an important aspect of teaching and helping students
understand why they’re learning what they’re learning. There are so many
examples of it from cooking to electricity that can keep students feeling
engaged with STEM learning.
2. Call in experts: Look for any scientists who’d be willing to come speak to
your classroom in-person or virtually. Students can come prepared to ask
your guest questions. This is one great way to get them engaged in the
classroom.
3. Utilize interactive visuals: : People have an easier time digesting and
engaging with information when visualizing it. “The possibility to access
information through clicking, sliding, or zooming-in might provide a more

4. Encourage collaboration: There are so many ways to encourage
collaboration among STEM students. Collaborative learning
applied in Science classes represents a favorable opportunity for
getting the students actively involved in their own learning
process
5. Prepare them for a career: Science classrooms prepare students
for a future STEM career. It will be helpful to let them pursue that
interest by assigning material that aligns with career choices they
might be interested in.
7. Take field trips (virtual or in-person): In-person trips are great,
but even virtual trips can be hugely beneficial in helping students
implement what they’re learning in the classroom as well as keep
them engaged.

8. Flip the classroom: Try flipping the classroom to reignite the engagement and
passion STEM students. In a flipped classroom, instructors assign video lectures,
reading material, and simulations as homework. Students can learn the concept at
home before entering the lab during class.
9. Use ChatGPT: Here are some ways they can use ChatGPT:
 Brainstorming ideas: When working on research projects or experiments,
students can use AI to generate ideas, hypotheses, or potential
approaches to a problem.
 Creative learning: Students can use AI to generate science-related
stories, essays, or poems, encouraging them to think creatively about
scientific concepts and make connections to other areas of their lives.
 Peer review and feedback: AI can provide constructive feedback
on students' written work or presentations, helping them refine
their communication skills and better understand the material.
