GetWET Water Education (Special Training Required for teachers prior to use, read about the requirements on the linked page). The Natural Sciences Education & Outreach Center collaborates with CSU faculty, National Parks and citizen science programs to translate their current scientific research into unique STEM experiences for students in the form of Educational Kits that can be checked out. Each kit contains just about all of the materials needed (minus common things like water and paper towels) to explore some really interesting scientific research topics.The kits are available for teachers and informal educators in Colorado to check out for a duration of a week by submitting either a local pickup form or a delivery form available at the linked website. This kit is provided free for educational use. This Kit is available in Spanish.

The Natural Sciences Education & Outreach Center at Colorado State University presents a visualization of global temperatures created using the Scratch coding platform from MIT. The visualization is designed to support the Educational STEM Kits that can be checked out for classroom use at this site: http://cns-eoc.colostate.edu

Explore the world of lines. Investigate the relationships between linear equations, slope, and graphs of lines. Challenge yourself in the line game!

Visualize the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. Change properties of the objects in order to see how it changes the gravity force.

Move the sun, earth, moon and space station to see how it affects their gravitational forces and orbital paths. Visualize the sizes and distances between different heavenly bodies, and turn off gravity to see what would happen without it!

How do greenhouse gases affect the climate? Explore the atmosphere during the ice age and today. What happens when you add clouds? Change the greenhouse gas concentration and see how the temperature changes. Then compare to the effect of glass panes. Zoom in and see how light interacts with molecules. Do all atmospheric gases contribute to the greenhouse effect?

The HEART Force curriculum builds understanding of wildfire, flood, or drought in the context of place-based community resilience.

In this interactive game, students work in three "resilience teams" to solve community challenges that arise during the course of an extreme drought event by using available individual and community resources.

This interactive game has students work in three “zone response teams” to solve community challenges that arise during the course of an extreme flooding event by using available individual and community resources.

This activity encourages students to collect data to answer questions, explore the roles of individual macroinvertebrates in aquatic ecosystems, and think about the health of aquatic ecosystems relative to the macroinvertebrates found.

Hielo Vital Equip STEM. El Centro de Extensión y Educación en Ciencias Naturales colabora con la facultad de CSU, los Parques Nacionales y los programas de ciencia ciudadana para traducir su investigación científica actual en experiencias STEM únicas para los estudiantes en forma de kits educativos que se pueden prestar. Cada kit contiene casi todos los materiales necesarios (menos cosas comunes como agua y toallas de papel) para explorar algunos temas de investigación científica realmente interesantes. enviando un formulario de recogida local o un formulario de entrega disponible en el sitio web vinculado.

This activity was an educator created resource to accompany the Hominid skull set from CSU's Natural Sciences Education & Outreach Center. This activity focuses on identifying distinct hominid traits and creating a Phylogenitc Tree to map human evolution. The resource can be used with the Hominid Skull Set, The Skull Anatomy Glossary, and the Hominid Evolution Activity from CSU's Natural Sciences Education & Outreach Center. See this link for all associated resources: https://www.cns-eoc.colostate.edu/stem-kits/hominid-skull-set/. At the linked site you can also download a rubric for grading this student activity.

This resource consists of 7 prehistoric hominid descriptions along with modern man in the form of informational cards, skull illustration and name. They can be used for matching and categorizing.

Hominid Skull Set. This is not an Educational Kit, but rather a collection of Hominid skulls that can be checked out in person for classroom use. Teachers should feel free to combine the artifacts with lessons of their choice or creation.
