Project-based learning is an instructional method commonly utilized in STEM classes because it teaches content through meaningful real-world problem-solving and application. Project-based learning increases motivation and student investment, engages the student with hands-on experiences, and provides a variety of ways for students to demonstrate mastery of content standards. Project-based learning also builds critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills, all of which are necessary for students to succeed beyond the classroom. Part 1: Handout Create a visually appealing project-based handout as a professional development resource for new teachers at your school. This handout will explain project-based learning and its effectiveness with cross-disciplinary instruction in STEM content areas of science, technology, engineering, and math.

This handout will explain project-based learning and its effectiveness with cross-disciplinary instruction in STEM content areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. Your project-based handout must include: Detailed description of project-based learning and how it can link prior content knowledge and make connections to students experiences. One example of a real-world STEM learning experience that develops student knowledge and skills in a cross-disciplinary context. Two examples of digital resources that would assist in implementing project-based learning methods in STEM instruction. Graphics and color to make the handout visually appealing and easy to follow.
