Urban Farm DB summary
This chapter is part of a textbook on STEM education in primary schools that introduces pre-service teachers to the theory, skills, and practice of teaching STEM through a project-based learning approach, integrating STEM elements with the Australian Curriculum via a school garden project case study. Popular STEM topic areas — health, shelter, and space — are explored through age-appropriate, tested project examples that illustrate how STEM ideas translate into classroom practice, connecting current STEM education research to teaching practice through discussion of assessment, learning spaces, community, and the future of STEM.
