The STEM Teaching Tools site has tools that can help you teach science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We are currently focused on supporting the teaching of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) . Each tool is focused on a specific issue and leverages the best knowledge from research and practice.

The K-12 EEI Curriculum uses the environment as a context to help students learn science and history-social science. The curriculum is a model for educators to demonstrate how to integrate environmental literacy into classroom instruction.
History-Social Science Units Science Units

California's Environmental Principles and Concepts (EP&Cs) in the EEI Curriculum

California's EP&Cs highlight the deep relationship between humans and the natural world and are the foundation of the environmental content taught in the model EEI Curriculum. Each EEI Curriculum unit supports at least one EP&C. In the EEI Curriculum, your students' understanding of the EP&C's builds over the course of their academic careers, strengthening their environmental literacy. Learn more.

The practices describe behaviors that scientists engage in as they investigate and build models and theories about the natural world and the key set of engineering practices that engineers use as they design and build models and systems. The NRC uses the term practices instead of a term like "skills" to emphasize that engaging in scientific investigation requires not only skill but also knowledge that is specific to each practice. Part of the NRC's intent is to better explain and extend what is meant by "inquiry" in science and the range of cognitive, social, and physical practices that it requires. Although engineering design is similar to scientific inquiry, there are significant differences. For example, scientific inquiry involves the formulation of a question that can be answered through investigation, while engineering design involves the formulation of a problem that can be solved through design. Strengthening the engineering aspects of the Next Generation Science Standards will clarify for students the relevance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (the four STEM fields) to everyday life.

Q and A with Uncovering Student Ideas in Science author Page Keeley

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Page Keeley, author of the award-winning Uncovering Student Ideas in Science series, loves to ask, "What do your students know-or think they know-about key science concepts?" In this video, not only does Keeley explain how she came to work with formative assessment probes and why they are so effective at helping teachers dispel students preconceptions, but she also challenges viewers to consider their own thinking with a probe about chicken eggs!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Crosscutting Concepts help students explore connections across the four domains of science, including Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering Design.

When these concepts, such as "cause and effect", are made explicit for students, they can help students develop a coherent and scientifically-based view of the world around them.
