- Most of today's educational system teaches students standardized content that fails to represent the real world in which they live and will work.
- Often Educational practices lack a problem-solving methodology, and fail to engage students enough to choose a career in STEM fields.
- Subject matter is standardized across disparate communities, regions, and cultures and often students are disengaged and teachers struggle to make STEM come alive in the classroom.
- However, the PAST Foundation has revolutionized how we teach STEM today and are providing their innovative approach to schools across the state and nation.
- The new PAST Innovation Lab model can …

Oil Spills, Dominique Kiki Carey, Corrine Losch, Rebecca Howard, Erica Light, Stephanie Purington
Case Study Lesson Plans for Teachers
While the global market is still highly dependent on oil and fossil fuels, society must be aware of the dangers and repercussions of mishandling of this oil. Oil spills are too often forgotten about after the original media rush, and conversations about cleanup methods are neglected. In this case study, we have students to look into the ramifications of an important oil spill, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. We challenge students to look into possible cleanup solutions for oil spills in order to encourage critical thought around an issue that is common in today’s world.
In this case …

Ocean Acidification, Dominique Kiki Carey, Corrine Losch, Rebecca Howard, Erica Light, Stephanie Purington
Case Study Lesson Plans for Teachers
It is hard to imagine that, as humans, we could significantly change the vast expanses of the open ocean. However, as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it diffuses into the oceans, making them increasingly more acidic. Ocean acidification is often described as the lesser known twin of climate change. A drop in pH could endanger shelled organisms, change fish behavior and have unpredictable consequences on countless other species as well as our own society. Ocean acidification has the potential to cause devastating changes, so it is critical that we all develop more awareness of it. …

Sustainability, Dominique Kiki Carey, Corrine Losch, Rebecca Howard, Erica Light, Stephanie Purington
Case Study Lesson Plans for Teachers
In the face of climate change, overflowing landfills, water shortages, and exploitation of natural resources, it is becoming increasingly important to act in responsible and sustainable ways. Environmental sustainability is the intersection of social, economic and environmental solutions to address issues threatening the world we live in. Too often in our society, sustainability is not prioritized and becomes an afterthought. In this case study, we challenge students to explore ways to make our world more sustainable, bringing these important issues into the consciousness of the next generation.
In this case study, students can choose the topic they wish to study …

Antibiotic Resistance, Dominique Kiki Carey, Corrine Losch, Rebecca Howard, Erica Light, Stephanie Purington
Case Study Lesson Plans for Teachers
Many people think that a world without antibiotics is a thing of the past, but we are on the cusp of becoming a generation without cures to the simplest bacterial infections. The more often we expose bacteria to antibiotics, the higher the chance of resistance to the drug forming. In today’s society, where any health issue is met with a drug and livestock are being pumped full of antibiotics, more infections are growing resistant to the drugs we use to combat them. Students will investigate the current situation, find solutions to the waning effectiveness of antibiotics, and encourage a behavioral …

Why The American Superpower Has Mediocre Educational Rankings, Madeline R. Hays

Although education holds implications for economic growth, scientific progress, and political participation, the United States remains on the lower end of educational quality compared to other industrial and first-world nations. Despite substantial efforts by the American government to mend this issue, reforms have yielded minimal improvement in results. Identifying the reasons for the declining nature of US education is essential in understanding how to improve the current academic state. Why has there been a decline in education quality in America compared to other first-world countries since World War II? In order to distinguish the characteristics correlating with low-achievement in the …
