Who am I? STEM Careers
I conduct experiments and study living things, chemicals, or materials to learn how they work.
What is a scientist?
Scientists use this tool to see objects that are too small to see with the naked eye.
What is a microscope?
These machines can be programmed to perform tasks automatically and are often used in manufacturing.
What are robots?
Which force pulls objects toward Earth?
What is gravity?
This type of vehicle can fly without a pilot physically sitting inside it.
What is a drone?
I design and build structures such as bridges, roads, and buildings.
What is a civil engineer?
Engineers use this tool to measure angles.
What is a protractor?
This technology allows machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.
What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)?
What is the name for a testable explanation for a scientific question?
What is a hypothesis?
This STEM career involves designing airplanes and other aircraft.
What is an aerospace engineer?
I design computer programs, apps, and software.
What is a software developer?
This piece of equipment allows scientists to measure temperature accurately.
What is a thermometer?
This technology creates a computer-generated environment that users can interact with.
What is virtual reality (VR)?
A student has a problem and creates, tests, and improves a possible solution. What STEM process is the student using?
What is the Engineering Design Process?
A self-driving car needs to identify a stop sign, pedestrian, and other vehicles. What technology helps the car "see" and interpret its surroundings?
What is computer vision?
I study weather and use data to predict storms, temperatures, and other weather conditions.
What is a meteorologist?
This tool is commonly used by engineers and designers to create precise digital drawings and models.
What is CAD (computer-aided design) software?
This technology allows scientists and engineers to create extremely small structures and materials by working at the scale of atoms and molecules.
What is nanotechnology?
Scientists and engineers are developing this technology to create replacement tissues, organs, and other biological structures using living cells.
What is 3D bio printing?
This part of an electric vehicle stores the electrical energy used to power the motor.
What is the battery?
I study animals, plants, and other living things to learn how they live and interact with their environment.
What is a biologist?
Engineers and scientists may use this technology to create a physical object from a digital design, layer by layer.
What is a 3-D printer?
This technology allows people to interact with digital objects that are placed over the real world using a phone, tablet, or special glasses.
What is augmented reality?
This technology stores and processes information on remote computers that can be accessed through the internet instead of only on your personal computer.
What is cloud computing?
A rocket needs to push gases downward to move upward. What scientific principle explains this?
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
