STEM, an interdisciplinary and applied approach in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, uses hands-on, problem-based learning. Integrating STEM into lesson plans and activities allows students to formulate hypotheses, create experiments, and use appropriate tools and technology to present and explain findings with graphs, models, and demonstrations, as well as the use of scientific and technological language. Sixth grade students focus on four scientific domains throughout the school year: life science, earth science, physical science, and human anatomy. During the annual Science Fair, the students present exhibitions based on their inquiry-based learning.
