Targeting STEM

Share

STEM is an exciting combination of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

The cross-disciplinary approach of STEM provides more scope for students to develop skills and strategies that encompass a range of knowledge areas and to explore more fully.

The Targeting STEM Journals provide 42 projects for students to work on independently or in groups using a range of commonly available resources. Each project contains four steps with a picture list of requirements and just enough explanation for launching students on their journeys of discovery. Each project includes a journal page with:

• space to write about the project and sketch out ideas


• charts to complete with data from the experiments


• more step-by-steps to take the project further


• interesting facts and trivia about the subject and questions to extend thinking.

All of the units cover curriculum content for several subject areas, shown in the table with the ACARA code correlations is on the inside cover. Many units include Digital Technologies’ activities as part of the curriculum mix. Answers (where relevant) are in the back of the book.
