This book provides all the tools and strategies you'll need to design integrated, interdisciplinary STEM lessons and units that are relevant and exciting to your students. With clear definitions of both STEM and STEM literacy, the authors argue that STEM in itself is not a curriculum, but rather a way of organizing and delivering instruction by weaving the four disciplines together in intentional ways. Rather than adding two new subjects to the curriculum, the engineering and technology practices can instead be blended into existing math and science lessons in ways that engage students and help them master 21st century skills Notes "Foreword author Rodger Bybee"--Cover Copyright 2013 by Jo Anne Vasquez, Cary Sneider, and Michael Comer Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-178) Subject Engineering -- Study and teaching (Elementary) -- United States.
