Social Studies + STEM = Aqueducts Rebuilt! | mrmatera.com

As a social studies teacher, the importance of integrating social studies into STEM seems all to obvious. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are all critical components of scientific research and development. These are all important elements in their own right, but together they create a larger picture for student to learn and grow from. That picture, I would argue, is in black and white without the color that the human story brings to STEM.
Four defendants, four lawyers, 13 jurors, and one judge decides a 1700 year old Roman court case. Students played their roles perfectly. The case wasn’t simple. A slave went to the public square to get a shave from a barber. http://www.mrmatera.com/2013/04/ancient-roman-court-case-reopened/
