STEM Sports’ turnkey kits and curriculums use popular sports and real-life application to drive STEM-based learning in classrooms, after-school programs, and camps.
In the basketball program, students will learn the STEM fundamentals behind the game as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creative problem-solving, and leadership. Students will also explore the science of basketball in new and unique ways, such as:
- Understanding the contents of a basketball on the molecular level and how temperature affects play
- Evaluating the changes that basketball shoes have made over time and why
- Engineering their own shooting apparatus to explain some of Sir Isaac Newton’s Laws
- Learning how to calculate their own field goal percentage, just like the greatest players in the NBA
The STEM supplemental curriculum includes 8 lessons, providing a minimum of 16 hours of instruction that includes physical activity. The 5E sequenced lessons are specifically composed and differentiated for grades 3–5 and 6–8 and all align to NGSS, CCSS, and/or National Standards for K–12 Physical Education. Many lessons include worksheets, and the program is easily scalable for teachers, administrators, and even volunteers.

- Basketball Full Kit: Includes the curriculum manual and all the reusable sports equipment and science supplies needed to fully implement the program
- Basketball Kit Without Sports Equipment: Includes the curriculum manual and all the reusable science supplies needed
