•You’re already integrating STEM;
•Integration provides synergies;
•Integrated teaching is beneficial for everyone;
•Innovation is at the intersections of disciplines;
•Innovation is messy; and
•There’s lots of help out there.

• Realize aspirations• Live to learn• Live to contribute• Live for challenge• Live to gain wisdom• Live to make a difference• Live to touch lives• Live to have fun!

• Science is a process by which we answer questions and solve problems, and the body of knowledge resulting from that process.
• SCIENCE is the application of
human intelligence to figuring out how the natural world around us works. Inquiry is the method used to establish scientific understanding.
![Page 6: Integrating STEM in standards-based curricula](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568136a8550346895d9e4d24/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• MATHEMATICS is the science of patterns and relationships among real and non-real objects. It is key to understanding and communicating most of science and engineering.
Logic is the method by which mathematical knowledge is created.
![Page 7: Integrating STEM in standards-based curricula](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568136a8550346895d9e4d24/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• TECHNOLOGY is the modification of the world to meet human needs and wants. Design is the method for developing new and useful products and processes.
![Page 8: Integrating STEM in standards-based curricula](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568136a8550346895d9e4d24/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• ENGINEERING is also the modification of the natural world to meet human needs and wants, but it differs from technology in that it is more analytic and based strongly on scientific knowledge. Design and redesign are the modes of understanding and doing.

STEM education focuses on understanding broad concepts which, when integrated allows students to focus on problems and solutions without concerns about crossing over into separate subject areas. Indeed one can almost make the analogy that this is the way a classical liberal arts education is designed.
STEM education means that students use the design process to understand concepts and then apply the concepts to the novel situation or problem that needs to be resolved.

Pedagogical content knowledge is an understanding of how particular topics, problems or issues are organized, represented, and adapted to the diverse interests and abilities of learners, and presented for instruction.
Dewey
Piaget

Zone of Zone of Proximal Proximal DevelopmentDevelopmentA difference exists between what a child can do on his/her own and what the child can do with help.
Vygotskians call this difference the zone of proximal development.

• Begins with students' questions and their prior knowledge and experience.
• By seeking answers to their questions, students may discover new, related questions and a sense of wonderment to continue the process.
• This usually involves experimentation or research; in either case, the student is responsible for designing the investigation.

1. Project-based learning projects are central, not peripheral to the curriculum.
2. Project-based learning projects are focused on questions or problems that drive students to encounter and struggle with the central concepts and principles of a discipline.
3. Projects involve students in a constructivist investigation.
4. Projects are student-driven to some significant degree.
5. Projects are realistic, not school-like.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked. Some windows are lighted but mostly they’re darked. A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin! Do you dare stay out? Do you dare go in? How much can you lose? How much can you win?
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
