Wheeler, Lindsay B.; Whitworth, Brooke A.; Gonczi, Amanda L. – Science Teacher, 2014
The number of students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is declining due in part to a lack of student interest (Fairweather 2008; NRC 2012; PCAST 2010). One reason may be the difference between how science is done in school and how it is done in the field (Osborne, Simon, and Collins 2003). An interdisciplinary…
