Overview

At Science of Sport, we know that educators are at the heart of inspiring students to learn and grow. That’s why we’ve created the Teacher Portal, a dedicated resource designed to support you in bringing STEM to life through sports. This portal provides easy access to lesson plans, worksheets, and hands-on activities that seamlessly integrate math and science into your curriculum using real-world sports examples.

The Teacher Portal is your go-to resource for engaging, standards-aligned STEM content. Here’s what you’ll have access to:

Ready-to-Use Lesson Plans: Clear, structured lessons that connect STEM concepts to sports, making learning more relevant and exciting for your students.
Downloadable Worksheets: Printable materials to reinforce key STEM skills through interactive activities.
Hands-On Activity Guides: Step-by-step instructions for implementing experiments and exercises that bring STEM to life in your classroom.
Sports-Based STEM Curriculum: A structured approach to teaching math and science using real-world sports applications.

The Seattle Sounders Science of Soccer Program, focuses on providing engaging hands-on learning activities using soccer examples and provides direct services to teachers and students. These STEM activities have an emphasis on hands-on learning, socio-emotional learning, and STEM education. Students will use materials and sporting equipment to complete the various activities and worksheets. We believe in using the power of the Seattle Sounders and the Science of Soccer to support our communities.

KPMG is the official charitable partner of the Seattle Sounders, and its mission is to build small fields for free play and invest in programs that use soccer as a vehicle to inspire youth and strengthen communities.
