Science provides the key to understanding the natural world. The application of science to relevant topics provides a context for students to build their knowledge and make connections across content and subject areas. This includes applications that integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Various strategies, included inquiry-based learning and hands-on approaches can be used to facilitate STEM applications and to promote critical thinking and a better understanding of our world.
