Fig. 1 included in this article shares a conceptual framework for integrating STEM education. The article further elaborates on Fig.1 and its use. Explain Fig. 1 and how this framework can allow teachers to identify the knowledge and skills needed to effectively integrate science with technology, engineering design, and mathematics.  Use 10-12 well constructed sentences to answer the question.

The Disciplinary Core Ideas include four sections. Three of the four sections include a topic of science. Select all 3 topics of the DCI’s, not including Engineering Design.

Can you think of a time in your life when changing your environment helped you develop a positive habit or break a negative one? How does this experience support or challenge the ideas presented in the video?

What were the main factors that caused the development cost of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner to increase from $6 billion to over $30 billion?
