Description

– Wondering how to incorporate science, technology, engineering and maths PLUS collaboration, critical thinking, problem-solving and digital literacy into the curriculum?
– You can do it with project-based learning. This book presents 8 units that require students to think creatively, to take risks and to put what they are learning into practice.
– Meanwhile, the teacher can continually assess what students are learning and make any necessary adjustments.
– This book actually makes learning fun – while meeting the requirements of the Australian Curriculum.
– The authentic units in this book are comprised of scaffolded activities leading to “play” centres designed and created by students for their own use.
– Each unit includes suggested science-, technology-, engineering-, and maths-based activities.
– The project-based process that drives the activities in each unit is a key component to developing 21st Century skills as well as competency in the STEM learning areas.
– Once acquired, these skills become life skills that can be used in any situation.
