If you’re looking for ways to engage students in science this school year, NIGMS offers a range of free resources that can help. All of our STEM materials are online and print-friendly, making them easy to use for remote teaching.

Pathways , developed in collaboration with Scholastic, is aligned with STEM and ELA education standards for grades 6 through 12. Materials include:

  • Student magazines with corresponding teaching guides
  • Related lessons with interactives
  • Videos
  • Vocabulary lists

Available lessons examine basic science careers, regeneration, and circadian rhythms.

We also have a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) webpage that features free, easy-to-access science education projects for pre-K through grade 12. Aligned with state and national standards for STEM teaching and learning, the program provides tools such as:

  • Apps
  • Interactives
  • Online books
  • Curricula and lesson plans
  • Short movies

Students can learn about sleep, cells, growth, microbes, a healthy lifestyle, genetics, and many other subjects.

And don’t forget about our Science Education pages, which have a wide range of additional articles, images, and videos on basic science topics and science careers. Also included is our glossary of basic science terms.
