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 New York Rangers’ Beyond the Boards, presented by Pfizer, provides direct support to teachers and students through engaging, hands-on learning activities that incorporate examples from hockey. These activities emphasize STEM education, socio-emotional learning, and experiential instruction. Students use a variety of materials and sports equipment to complete structured tasks and worksheets.
