STEM
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education.
We focus on these areas together not only because the skills and knowledge in each discipline are essential for student success, but also because these fields are deeply intertwined in the real world and in how students learn most effectively. STEM is an interdisciplinary and applied approach that is coupled with hands-on, problem-based learning. If you want this list of Gizmos imported to your homepage class tabs, click on this LINK, then choose “Import Gizmos List to Classes” in the upper right hand corner. This is a suggested STEM Focused Gizmos List organized by simple machines, force and motion, sound, light, heat and wave energy, materials science, electricity and geophysics.
