NIGMS Announces New Resource for K-12 Educators

Attention, educators. NIGMS has announced a new clearinghouse of free STEM education resources covering a wide range of health and biomedical research topics for students in grades K through 12. 

The STEM teaching resources website (https://science.education.nih.gov/) provides links to great content from various institutes and centers within NIH, as well as materials developed under the NIGMS Science Education Partnership Award program (https://www.nigms.nih.gov/Research/DRCB/sepa/Pages/default.aspx). 

The resources are easy to navigate within the following subject areas:

• Being a Scientist
• The Brain & Mental Health
• Diseases & Conditions
• Drug Use & Addiction
• Genetics
• The Environment & Human Health
• Healthy Living
• The Human Body
• Molecules & Cells
• Scientific Tools & Methods

Share the website with the educators in your life; it can be a useful tool for them to bring STEM materials into their classrooms. 

Check back for updates because new content will be added as it becomes available.—Rachel Crowley
