The STEM Soccer program has the perfect touch and trappings to create a robust curriculum that juggles between classroom-style teaching as well as on-the-pitch learning opportunities. There are no penalties for learning this way because it uses soccer as the real-life application.

Crossing the spectrum of the sport, the STEM Soccer curriculum touches and tackles several different lessons throughout the eight-module program and features:

• The importance of properly inflated soccer balls and how molecules respond inside the ball
• Learning how active play and burning calories correlates
• The Engineering Design Process as students create their own goal line technology
• Calculating the probability of penalty kicks. Students will be able to predict the number of penalty kicks by using a model from collected data

The goal is to make students critical thinkers, better problem solvers and skilled collaborators. The STEM Soccer program will do just that and explain the science that is behind the world's most popular sport. This program will provide an invaluable assist so that students can lap the field with their STEM literacy and future career paths.

Frequently Asked Questions:

HOW MANY STUDENTS DOES EACH KIT SERVE?

All STEM Sports® curriculum kits are designed for repeated use and can serve hundreds of students. Within each classroom, after-school program or camp setting, implementation for one student up to 30+ is possible per module. Or, two modules can be implemented simultaneously. There are lots of variables to consider and our curricula is well designed for expandability and scalability.

HOW LONG DOES EACH KIT LAST?

WHAT FORMAT IS THE CURRICULUM MOST EFFECTIVE IN?

Because all STEM Sports® programs are aligned with all or either of the following standards: Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core State Standards and National Standards for K-12 Physical Education, this curriculum is a perfect fit for public, private or charter schools classrooms. Then and because of the curricula's standardization, the modules are a great fit for after-school programs as well as camp settings.

WHO CAN TEACH OR ADMINISTER THE CURRICULUM?

The 5E lesson plans make teaching modules easier and students will be more willing to learn. Why?  Because the way our STEM Sports® activities are set up, the sequence of lesson is well established, concepts and objectives are thoroughly scoped and the majority of students love sports and will view the learning as play. Then, students will develop 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, creative problem-solving, and leadership. So back to who is best to teach or administer STEM Sports® curricula? Everyone from science and STEM teachers, to PE teachers, sports coaches, volunteers and even the students the curricula is designed for. The 21st century skills we engrain with students are the same skills that they can utilize to help their fellow students.
