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.
Many natural ecosystems have been degraded through human activity, resulting in changes to species diversity, population size and sustainability. Investigation, mapping and analyses of data can provide the evidence required to develop plans for the rehabilitation and management of degraded ecosystems.
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.
