Connecting all the key factors to work as a whole, rather than as independent subjects
When you create your lesson, and when you carry it out in practice, you can expect mistakes to occur and new ideas to emerge. STEM aims to foster inquiry in students and to help them work out processes. It is good to experiment with different approaches and to look at the ideas from different angles. Don’t worry if it gets messy – this is often part of the learning process. Be ready to help and guide the learning process where necessary.
