This is an interesting exercise and discussion we had in class tonight. Think of defnintions for these various things?
Science - the study of the processes of the physical and natural world and how it works.
Technology--anything that can help people with a task (the tools that can help find a solution)
Experts say: any purposeful modification of the natural world
Engineering - a field of study of which the focus is the physical, structural, and electrical makeup of man made construction (someone who applies scientific theory and methods to design and build) Jim’s answer: problem solving with design
Mathematics -- the study of numbers and their relationship to one another and the analysis of their value. The study of relationships between things (numbers that are real or imagined) based on logic
Art - the idea of promoting, creating or appreciating the aesthetics
STEM Education -- the study and practice of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in an interdisciplinary and practical manner.
STEAM Education- STEM with the stress on Applied Math or Art
The distinction between Science and Engineering -- scientists develop the principles and theories and engineers apply it to evdescience is the theory and the engineering is things are built
Interdisciplinary teaching and learning -- connecting various disciplines
