Teaching science remotely offers unique challenges, and Merge EDU provides resources for teachers to effectively teach students online. From digital teaching aids you can hold to our standards-aligned activity plans and STEM projects, distance learning has never been more engaging.

“What’s fabulous about all of these tools is that they are transferable to our current digital and remote teaching situation. Merge Cube offers a free paper cube that works exactly like the regular cube. You simply open the app and point your phone’s camera to the cube and your students could be holding the solar system, a burning log, a pumping heart or even a growing flower in their hands!”

“If you’re teaching remotely you can share your screen and the kids will get the same experience as they would in the classroom. Augmented reality allows students to literally hold the world at the tip of their fingers, and it makes me the modern version of Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus!” — Tanya Diaz

Presenting your Merge EDU lesson or project with video is a great way to share the experience when you can’t be together in person. And, using digital teaching aids and science simulations will make your video lessons more engaging and effective.
