Integrated STEM Lessons focus on the curricular crosslink’s between sticking points that support a full integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics into a truly unified whole; that is, STEM, not S+T+E+M.

All plans of study should meet local and state
middle school and/or high school graduation
requirements and college entrance
requirements. Certain local student
organization activities are also important
including public speaking, record keeping and
work-based experiences.
Information Technology Applications:
Students will use technology tools to manage
personal schedules and contact information,
create memos and notes, prepare simple
reports and other business communications,
manage computer operations and file
storage, and use electronic mail, Internet
applications and GIS to communicate, search
for and access information. Student will
develop skills related to word processing,
database management and spreadsheet
applications.
