Some of the characteristics that should be seen in a STEM Class, is the the use of technology, student centered activities, students communicating and building social skills, brainstorming,  designing, creating, experimenting and many others. A STEM  classroom is an active class.

In the past I’ve used STEM activities on Fridays and had students collaborate together and have fun with it. It also worked great in my classroom when I used it as a competition and students had to really work together and at a quick pace. It’s a good way to get students thinking and work with other students in the class they may not usually work with.

Students use the inquiry process to develop, explore and draw conclusions of phenomenon. Collaboration,  creativity, effective communication ongoing and continuous in these classrooms.Discussion, collaborative idea building and integration of technology allows all learners to participate, contribute and engage in the learning.
