#TodayInSTEM, French chemist Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin was born in 1763. Vauquelin discovered the elements chromium (Cr) and beryllium (Be). Chromium is a hard, silvery metal used to make stainless steel. Beryllium is used in gears and cogs, particularly in aeroplanes.

Did you know you can grow plants without soil? Check out this STEM for Kids investigation activity on The Groovy Blog: https://www.groovylabinabox.com/grow-your-own-groovy-green-roof/ 🌱 Hydroponics uses water and a growth medium to grow plants. NASA has been researching how to use hydroponics in space. Our Groovy Water Works Box is all about how a future Mars Colony could grow their own food hydroponically. This investigation is all about making your own space barn with a green roof and learning how seeds can grow with only a sponge and some water. 🌱 🌱 🌱 #photosynthesis #aquaponics #hydroponic #greenroof https://www.instagram.com/p/B3iClhrhHYM/?igshid=1u74j5y6zzjrb

Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
