The class is designed to help remediate students who struggle in science based on either their CRCT scores or their grade averages from the previous year. However, all of the students in the remediation class currently have an A or B in their current science class. Ms. Phillips seems to find that if she presents information at a lower level students seem to get bored and lose interest, and if she presents it at a higher level the students get frustrated. What are some good strategies or practices that Ms. Phillips could use as part of her science remediation class that will keep the students motivated and ensure success on future testing? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Ms. Phillips needs to incorporate The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Problem-Based learning into her curriculum and lesson planning. Students drive the pace and difficulty of the lessons through natural differentiation of the students. These lesson planning does not take any more time than regular planning, and incorporates the students interests naturally into real-world based problems. They get really excited because they feel that they can make a difference! The learning, motivation, and engagement comes in the process.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: STEM is extremely beneficial to the learning and teaching of Science, Math, technology and Engineering.

I think that the STEM Problem Based learning is extremely helpful to teachers and students. It deals with real life problems and allows the students to go through each type of thinking to find the solution. This will definitely keep the students engaged and on task for testing.
