The curriculum resource modules are intended for teachers interested in integrated STEM teaching and learning approaches that engage students in collaborative learning to solve authentic, real world problems.
Roads often separate natural landscapes. A variety of animals in urban and rural settings need to cross roads to access resources such as food, water, breeding sites or mates. This is often hazardous for both animals and people in the vehicle. Unfortunately many animals and some people are injured or killed when vehicles collide with animals.
A STEM learning module should encourage learning that is student-led and teacher-facilitated, and have an open-ended problem-solving approach. Problem solving involves an intellectual struggle that provides opportunities for higher-order thinking, reasoning and creativity.
