I am a science teacher at school. Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, which stands for STEM, is a discipline offered in my school.
Our principal, Madam, is trying to get STEAM offered in my school. Slowly, we teachers are trying to introduce the arts in explaining science subjects, Technology and Mathematics.
First activity we introduced encouraging students to make educational art collages to write and explain a summary of the topic taught in class.
2nd activity we organised in school is to write #poems about concepts taught in class.
3rd activity we organised is #drama or play on stage by students to explain the concept taught. Recently, we science teachers explained the covalent bond to students through drama.
Arts makes the STEM concept easier to explain. Introducing art in STEM no longer makes the concept very dry. It makes students culturally rich and close to the community. It helps them develop high EQ.
Once students get interested in subject through arts, then students feel comfortable in learning of STEM. The goal is to make students motivated to learn subject concept. Arts plays best role to do so.Therefore STEAM is useful for students and teachers.
