Teacher's Guide to Technical Writing for STEM: Proposals, Plans, and Reports

The purpose of this teacher’s guide is to provide resources to assist teachers in preparing students for the technical writing required for any type of STEM proposal or report.

Students will develop a STEM commercialization proposal to be used in the Believe in Ohio program or a STEM research paper to be used for state science day. Each session will focus on the various components that are necessary for writing an appropriate proposal. With teacher guidance, students will be taught to find reliable sources, compare ideas from multiple articles, use appropriate citations, develop a plausible prototype, and present their ideas in a coherent manner.
