# Enhance STEM learning with Animated Video
Posted by [Amiee PreFontaine](https://blog.videoscribe.co/author/amiee-prefontaine) on September 9, 2024
If you’re anything like us, you might’ve heard the term ‘STEM’ floating around, but never fully understood what it meant. STEM stands for Science, Engineering, Technology, and Mathematics and is an umbrella term used to group and describe these subjects, often considered to be the core technical disciplines in education. We all study maths and sciences in school from a young age, which are considered vital to our learning and development. These subjects are practical and vast and often utilize visual tools and aids to help demonstrate and explain complex topics or processes. This is where animated video comes in!
Animated video can offer an easy and effective solution to teaching STEM subjects, helping students visualize difficult concepts and further their understanding in these key areas. We previously spoke to scientist Vicki Martin about how she uses VideoScribe to translate complex scientific discoveries and messages into animations that everyone can understand. You can learn more about Vicki’s COVID-19 explainer videos [here.](https://blog.videoscribe.co/how-i-turn-scientific-research-into-viral-animations-that-attract-4.5-million-impressions)
In this blog post, we’ll cover how you can use VideoScribe to create animated, visually rich content that illustrates scientific processes, mathematical problems, and engineering concepts clearly and engagingly.
## Graphs and Statistics
You can bring graphs and statistics to life with the help of animated videos. By illustrating a graphic, you can enhance student understanding by helping them to visualize movement, progressions, and changes. With VideoScribe you can animate visual elements like arrows moving in certain directions, lines, and bars on a graph, or highlight points on a map. This can improve student memory retention by making data presentation more engaging and interesting to look at.
You can see how we have used animation to illustrate some graphs and charts in our [video marketing infographic](https://www.videoscribe.co/app/template-preview/2usQqb6jCjpS2BIcLDe6ql/) template video.
## Diagrams and Processes:
STEM subjects often involve abstract or intricate processes that are difficult to grasp through text or static images alone. By illustrating diagrams and processes, students can gain a better understanding of the practical process behind an operation or action.
Our [water cycle template](https://www.videoscribe.co/app/template-preview/69hmSAmE3mbVhGKhTuo11N/) is ideal for primary school-level science or geography. It illustrates the processes involved in the water cycle with labels and demonstrations of individual processes such as evaporation and condensation. Animated video allows teachers to spotlight aspects of these processes within the ‘big picture’ without compromising the big picture itself.
This template is also fully customizable and can be easily edited to show different systems or cycles. For example, this template could be updated to show the oxygen cycle by moving around the arrows and replacing the mountain range with a tree and the bridge with an animal.
## Equations:
Whiteboard animation can be used to help you break down the stages of answering complex math questions. You can create example equations by adding your own text and numbers. There is also a section in our image library called ‘Alphabet and Symbols’ which can help you build some simple and intermediate equations.
For advanced mathematical equations, you can use an equation editor that allows you to save your equation as an image. You can learn more about how to do this on our website [here](https://help.videoscribe.co/knowledge/add-mathematical-formulae). You can see some examples of the mathematics-related visual assets in our library below.
Altogether, animated videos can significantly enhance learning in STEM subjects by leveraging the ability to visually and interactively present complex concepts. Animation can help to visualize the abstract, demonstrate experiments and simulations, and break down difficult processes into simple and digestible stages. Overall VideoScribe can help to improve engagement through interactive learning, encourage exploration and curiosity, and show real-world applications of STEM concepts, which can not only help students understand the relevance and importance of what they are learning but also inspire future interest in STEM careers.
