Our team creates grade-appropriate, inquiry-based activities and generates in-class resources for teachers. Our ultimate goal is to promote the understanding of concepts, science literacy and excitement about STEM in middle school students. Our activities are based on <strong>South Carolina College and Career Ready Science Standards<\/strong> and utilize the <strong>three-dimensional (3D) model of learning <\/strong>integrated into these standards. The <a href=\"https:\/\/scienceweb.clemson.edu\/beakerbox\/3d-learning-resources\/\">3D learning model<\/a> combines disciplinary core ideas with crosscutting concepts and science and engineering practices to improve science competence.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;violet&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space]<style
