For example, while the topic of population growth and the factors involved in population growth are essentially biological (science), the way I go about having students “explore” them involves mathematics. Students are provided with information regarding a number of hypothetical families and questions to answer based on those families. As evident in this task description, provided as Appendix A, there are a number of mathematical procedures that are involved in answering these questions. Thus, the lesson effectively integrates the S and the M of STEM in learning about the real world issue of human population growth.
