Jump Start Your STEM Program

PASCO STEM Modules

PASCO also recognizes that resources and professional development are critical for the successful implementation of STEM initiatives and is ready to partner with ministries, districts and schools to help develop a plan that aligns with your vision.

As a starting point, we have developed several complete STEM units (PASCO STEM Modules), to include content, equipment, technology and instructions to help jump start your STEM program.

In addition, PASCO offers numerous inquiry-driven, project-based solutions that can be readily integrated and customized to meet your program needs.

Looking for a pre-packaged approach to STEM practices?

Each of these discreet modules challenges students to combine Science, Technology, Engineering and Math concepts in pursuit of a solution to a particular challenge. Each module:

• Is guided by the national standards
• Incorporates a problem-based learning approach, emphasizing inquiry
• Incorporates both independent and collaborative work
• Includes both formative and summative assessments
• Features an engineering design challenge as the culminating project

Each module is centered on an open-ended Challenge in which students are given the task of designing, constructing, and implementing the solution to an engineering problem. The Challenge is based on fundamental science concepts in one or more of the science and simulates a real world problem that a modern engineer might encounter, with similar design constraints.
