The Pitsco 59614 Hot-Air Balloons Teacher's Guide by Jennifer Fenske (ISBN: 1-58651-920-4) provides instructions, lesson plans, worksheets, tests, puzzles, and resource pages for teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities based on the Zoon Hot-Air Balloon project (sold separately). Students learn STEM concepts, including how to calculate surface area and volume, and discover how lift, drag, buoyancy, and temperature affect hot-air balloon flight through the provided lessons and hands-on activities. The guide includes six lessons and five worksheets for grades 6-8 and 9-12, and it addresses how the lessons and activities meet standards set by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA). The 94-page guide is paperback and spiral bound for ease of use. A teacher's guide is typically used in an educational setting to complement lesson plans and provides supplemental activities for students. Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology. Pitsco Education develops K-12 science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum, educational kits, and classroom tools. The company, founded in 1971, is headquartered in Pittsburg, KS.
