Ways to Use Our Innovation in Action Videos

  • Using the videos in a science class or as part of a science or STEM unit?
    • Use the videos to see examples of science and engineering practices in action. Develop lesson plans/activities that have students identify how they see those practices come to life with the innovation being highlighted.
    • Create flipped learning activities watching the video outside of class and using class time for students to share their thoughts on the discussion question(s) or work on the activity idea(s) that accompany each video.
    • Give students a chance to see the wide variety of options available to them working in science and STEM related fields.
    • Have students engaging in an individual or group research project view videos to obtain primary source quotations and video excerpts they could use to create their final project, paper, presentation, or artwork.
    • Use the videos as a conversation starter or with a journal prompt to inspire discussion in small group or classroom settings.
    • Use the videos with lesson plans you create where students investigate a specific topic related to the subject/field highlighted in the video and report their learning in a video or in-person presentation.
    • Have students view a video and determine any additional questions they have about the information presented that were not answered in the video. Have them research to see if any local individuals/organizations/companies could answer their questions and contact them for those answers.
  • Interested in having students make cross-curricular connections?
    • Use the videos with a weekly “Innovation in Action” type activity with students learning about different fields of work, different ways science, technology, and engineering are applied in the real world, and the impact of science, technology, and engineering on people’s lives.
    • View videos and have students share their responses and their learning in student-created art, story, play, performance, or science experiment of their own creation.
    • Help students understand relationships between science, engineering, and technology and the discipline you teach—for example: how history has been impacted, the effect on people’s daily lives, how those fields have inspired art or literature or created new ways to express human interests and emotions through, art, literature, and performance.

    AND REMEMBER! EACH VIDEO IS STANDARDS-ALIGNED WITH DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND ACTIVITY IDEAS SPECIFIC TO ITS CONTENT
