I have always been searching for innovative ways to get my students engaged in the science classroom, and to connect their new knowledge with the real-world. As I worked through my master courses, I began noticing how my STEM literacy was improving, and thinking of ways to help my students, and peers improve theirs as well. The <strong>Unknown Bones</strong> activity is the first Integrated module I set to develop, in order to provide my students with a new classroom experience, which was hands-on, interactive, and inspiring. I present Unknown Bones as my original contribution, with the aims to inspire myself, and other teachers to continue participating, and sharing educative experiences, and ideas that could positively contribute to any student’s STEM education.<br /><br /></div> <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-highlight" href="/uploads/1/1/7/5/117556224/teachersguide_unkbones.pdf" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Unknown Bones</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-wrap"> <div class="footer"> <style type="text/css"> @font-face { font-family: SQMarket-Medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: 500; src: url("//cdn2.editmysite.com/fonts/SQ_Market/sqmarket-medium.woff2") format("woff2"), url("//cdn2.editmysite.com/fonts/SQ_Market/sqmarket-medium.woff") format("woff"); } </style> <div id="weebly-footer-signup-container-v3"> <a href="https://www.weebly.com/signup?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=footer" target="_blank" class="signup-container-header" id="signup-link-href" > <div class="powered-by"> <div class="footer-published-ab-powered-by"> Con tecnolog铆a de <span class="link weebly-icon"></span> <img class="footer-ab-published-toast-image" src="//cdn2.editmysite.com/images/site/footer/footer-toast-published-image-1.png"> <span class="footer-ab-published-toast-text">Crea tu propio sitio web con las plantillas personalizables.</span> <span class="footer-ab-published-toast-button-wrapper"> <button class="footer-published-ab-button">Primeros pasos</button> </span> </div> </div> </a> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn2.editmysite.com/js/site/footerSignup.js?buildTime=1732220787"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> if (document.readystate === 'complete') { Weebly.footer.setupContainer('cdn2.editmysite.com', '1732220787'); } else { document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { Weebly.footer.setupContainer('cdn2.editmysite.com', '1732220787'); }); } </script> </div> </div> </div> <div id="navMobile" class="nav mobile-nav"> <label class="hamburger"><span></span></label> <ul class="wsite-menu-default"> <li id="active" class="wsite-menu-item-wrap"> <a href="/" class="wsite-menu-item" > Home </a> </li> <li id="pg403579775154695967" class="wsite-menu-item-wrap"> <a href="/blog.html" class="wsite-menu-item" > Blog </a> </li> <li id="pg493901360713201333" class="wsite-menu-item-wrap"> <a href="/about.html" class="wsite-menu-item" > About </a> </li> <li id="pg289186618160471793" class="wsite-menu-item-wrap"> <a href="/contact.html" class="wsite-menu-item" > Contact </a> </li> </ul> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="/files/theme/plugins.js?1517952730"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/files/theme/custom.js?1517952730"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-7870337-1']); _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'none']); _gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
