Abstract

What is an Education Stimulator? The idea behind Education Stimulators is to help (in this case) high school aged students get familiar with the science material they are about to be learning from their teacher(s) from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) curricular code. Whether it’s a student’s first time learning the material or it’s familiar to them, it allows for them to gear their brains towards what is to come without too many surprises that could uninterest them. There are three different types of Education Stimulators included with KEYs given also.
