If you were to peer into a primary school classroom somewhere
across Australia and New Zealand, you would be forgiven for
thinking that science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) education is synonymous with coding and digital
technologies. However, while these aspects are important,
technology alone does not reflect the broad learning opportunities
afforded by STEM. In countering this narrow approach, STEM
Education in Primary Classrooms offers a platform for research that
innovates, excites and challenges the status quo. It provides
educators with innovative and up-to-date research into how to
meaningfully and authentically embed STEM into existing classroom
practices. It incorporates accurate explanations of STEM as an
integrated approach to solving real-world problems, including
social issues, along with case studies and stories to bring
practice to life in evidence-informed ways. This book showcases the
impact of a broader approach to STEM in the primary classroom
through Australian-based and New Zealand-based research that will
challenge current teaching practices. Thus, this book will be of
interest to pre- and in-service primary school teachers, along with
researchers and postgraduate students in the STEM education field.

how it travels through pylons, power cables, and wires into
