STEM Connections

STEM Connections supports teachers to understand how young Australians might create preferred futures through STEM and plan for STEM learning using the Australian Curriculum F–10.

The purpose of this resource is to:

guide educators to identify content in the Australian Curriculum that supports students to understand the deep connections between knowledge, understanding and skills in and across the Science, Technologies and Mathematics learning areas
highlight how engineering is addressed in the Australian Curriculum and how it provides an opportunity for the authentic application of learning from the 3 learning areas. In the Australian Curriculum, engineering is addressed through the Technologies context: Engineering principles and systems in the Design and Technologies subject, in the Mathematics strands of Measurement and Space, and in the Science sub-strand of Physical sciences
provide a conceptual framework for teachers to design transdisciplinary STEM units that focus on the Australian Curriculum: Science, Technologies and Mathematics
connect educators to transdisciplinary resources that have been developed to support STEM education
demonstrate how teachers can provide opportunities to develop STEM practices and dispositions for everyday life and potentially for future STEM careers.
