Zoo STEM Teach

Zoo STEM Teach is a project that examines how teachers in early childhood and primary/elementary years learn and think when considering STEM curriculum content and skills using multi-modal documentation when at the zoo.

Focusing on their experiences in Science, Technologies and Mathematics (STEM) workshops at the zoo, we aim to enrich teachers with the ideas, knowledge and passion to turn their curriculum studies into rich, authentic and meaningful STEM lessons in primary and early years. 

What people are saying...

"In experiencing the zoo from a student and teacher perspective, I engaged with all of the non-obvious math connections there are. It was engaging to view how these resources could be turned into effective STEM activities, and why this way of learning benefits student engagement and leadership."
