The Importance of STEM with Science Education
What's more valuable than giving students tools to better engage with the world around them? Incorporating STEM lessons with regular science curriculum does just that.
STEM programs encourage learning through exploration. Hands-on activities promote critical thinking, communication, perseverance, and the acceptance of failure. From developing creative solutions to everyday challenges, to applying concepts learned when in their future careers, STEM lessons provide students essential skills to more confidently navigate the future.
The Full Option Science System™ (FOSS®) enriches science education by leveraging students' natural curiosity. Hands-on activities raise overall interest in science, and lessons extend far beyond traditional curriculum to build foundations learners use throughout their lives.
