New Year, New Phenomena Lesson Plan Competition
Welcome to the New Year! ORISE wants you to engage students using phenomena! For example, what are the molecular characteristics of water that cause it to form a “water hat” when dumped on a person’s head, and why does someone’s tears in space look different than someone’s tears on Earth? Submit an original STEM lesson plan that uses phenomena to engage students for a chance to win. THREE teachers will win a trip to NSTA! The deadline is Friday, January 31.

Register NowResearcher spotlight: Brittany Hicks
Hicks, a GEM intern studying biofuels research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, investigated microbial interactions in soil samples of poplar trees, a potential feedstock for biofuels. The overall goal of the research is to engineer a microbial community that can support a higher yield of biofuel derived from poplars while limiting the need for fertilizers.
