Exciting New Tools from Virtual Science Teachers!
We are thrilled to announce two new additions to our suite of educational resources designed to make STEM learning even more accessible and engaging for students and teachers alike.
Graph Makers: 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.
Lab Report Template: We are also excited to unveil our new lab report template. This template serves as an excellent scaffold for designing investigations, guiding students through the process of conducting experiments and documenting their findings in a structured manner. It encourages systematic inquiry, helping students develop critical thinking and scientific reasoning skills.
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!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to COVA STEM Hub for their unwavering support, which has once again empowered Virtual Science Teachers to continue delivering high-quality, engaging STEM education to students. We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded another grant for the 2024-25 school year. This generous support enables us to make a lasting impact and further our mission of providing exceptional educational resources. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, COVA STEM Hub, for your continued partnership and belief in our work!
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!

Langley Air Show STEM Event
May 5-7, 2023
Virtual Science Teachers engaged with hundreds of kids and adults of all ages during the Langley Air Show STEM event. The Virtual Science Teachers “What is Air” interactive lesson helped students learn about the molecules that make up air. Then, lots of hands-on activities built on the understanding of molecules in air to help students learn about how differences in air pressure make flight possible.
New! Spanish Translation of Heating Ice Lab
Virtual Science Teachers is thrilled to offer a Spanish translation of another one of our most popular interactive lessons! More translated interactive lessons coming soon!
