About STEM Cases
Students assume the role of a scientist trying to solve a real world problem. They use scientific practices to collect and analyze data, and form and test a hypothesis as they solve the problem.
STEM Cases take between 30 - 90 minutes for students to complete, depending on the case.
Student progress is automatically saved so that STEM Cases can be completed over multiple sessions.
Multiple grade appropriate versions, or levels, exist for each STEM Case.
Each STEM Case level has an associated Handbook. These are interactive guides that focus on the science concepts underlying the case.
About Handbooks
Handbooks contain the same content, including questions and assessments, from the Handbook inside the STEM Case.
Handbooks are standalone versions of the Handbook section of the related STEM Case. They cover the relevant science content, but without the real-world problem to solve.
Each Handbook uses realtime reporting to show live student results.
Handbooks take roughly half as long as the relevant STEM Case to complete.
Multiple grade-appropriate versions are available for each Handbook.
