The Electromagnetic Spectrum – Index page
“The electromagnetic spectrum is more familiar to you than you might think. The microwave you use to heat your food and the cell phones you use are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. The light that our eyes can see is also part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum consists of the colors that we see in a rainbow – from reds and oranges, through blues and purples.”

STEM Attributes & Rubric | NC STEM Learning Network
“NC STEM Learning Network has developed a comprehensive list of STEM attributes. These attributes – a checklist of characteristics that are hallmarks of programmatic quality in STEM education – are based on local, state and national research and public feedback from 125 practitioners, educators, and business leaders.
These attributes have been adopted by the North Carolina State Board of Education and will serve as the standard measure of quality STEM programs in the state.”
