Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan (link is external) on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform (link is external).

Hockey Scholar by Everfi

Description:

Hockey Scholar brings science, math & engineering concepts to life using the exciting, fast-paced game of hockey. Through immersive hockey simulations, each online module enables students to explore real-life applications of fundamental STEM concepts. This online course combines cutting-edge instructional design and game-based simulations to build students’ confidence, mastery, and excitement around critical STEM topics.

Learning Targets:

Describe how changes in temperature affect molecular motion and kinetic energy

Describe and compare the phases of matter (solid, liquid and gas)

Explain matter is made of molecules

Student prerequisite skills and knowledge

Students should know what molecules and atoms are before starting this course. They should also be able to add, subtract divide and multiply. Students should have some knowledge about motion of objects as well.

How is the concept or procedure explained or demonstrated?

Each module has a section that allows student to predict, observe, and practice before being assessed. Students watch videos and perform simulated tasks that reinforce the concept of the module.

What concepts or procedures are being explained or demonstrated in this lesson object?

Students explore many concepts in each module such as:

movement of molecules

conservation of energy

scientific method

calculating surface area and speed

What was your experience, both successes and challenges, using this lesson object with your students?

This is an excellent course created by Everfi. I was invited to use it in my middle school classes. My students were hesitant at first because they do not know much about hockey. However once they started the course they liked it. Students used their math and science skills to complete the tasks in the course. There are videos and voiceovers throughout the course a classroom set of headphones is highly recommended. This cousre was an overall success with grades 6-8.
