Exciting New Tools from Virtual Science Teachers!

 
Our newly introduced graph makers simplify the process of creating line graphs, bar graphs, and pie charts. These tools are user-friendly and perfect for both students and teachers, making it easier than ever to visualize data and enhance understanding of key concepts. Whether you’re plotting scientific data or illustrating statistical information, our graph makers are here to help.
 
These tools are part of our ongoing commitment to provide high-quality, interactive, and accessible STEM education resources. We believe they will significantly enhance the teaching and learning experience, making complex concepts more approachable and enjoyable.
 
Stay tuned for more updates and resources from Virtual Science Teachers!

Students learning about magnetic fields at the VST Exhibit
Students learning about magnetic fields at the VST Exhibit

NORFOLK – At STEM Day on October 20, Virtual Science Teachers set up an exhibit for Norfolk Public School 5th graders focusing on magnetics.

 

Students had the chance to play with magnets and see how they work. They learned about magnetic field lines and how magnets interact with different materials. The exhibit also taught them how to use a compass. To make it interactive, there was a compass game where students could apply what they had learned.

 

The aim of the Virtual Science Teachers’ booth was to give students a hands-on understanding of magnets and their applications in a straightforward and engaging manner.

 

We’re honored to be part of an event that sparks STEM enthusiasm in the next generation of scientists and engineers!
