Using STEAM Strategies
Video thumbnail full-width
Grades: K - 12

With STEAM strategies, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics are taught in an interdisciplinary manner using a real world, problem-solving approach.  Students have the opportunity to see how the subjects, and skills they involve, are related to each other.  Students work with each other using an inquiry and hands-on approach while connecting their topic of study to a valid, real-world, open-ended problem.

The resources in this tool kit are designed to give you some ideas on how to use STEAM strategies in your classroom, provide you sample lesson plans and templates to build from, and link you to additional resources on the topic.  Additional STEAM activity idea and lesson plan Teacher Tools can be found with many videos throughout the Educate.Today website.

Have a lesson plan, article you’ve written, or a video of a student project incorporating a STEAM approach that you’d like us to look at for possible publication on our Educate.Today website?  Send us the completed form you’ll find here and we’ll get back in touch.
