Abstract

In China, STEM education is quietly emerging and has attracted extensive attention in the education field. As a new educational approach, it can not only fully mobilize students’ enthusiasm for learning biology but also enrich classroom content, provide students with abundant learning resources, and enable them to explore biological knowledge independently. Currently, STEM education, which focuses on cultivating students’ comprehensive qualities and innovative and creative abilities, has gradually become a trend in the reform of high school biology teaching methods. Therefore, the research on the integration of STEM and high school biology classrooms has important practical significance. This paper first briefly introduces the significance of integrating STEM and high school biology classrooms and then analyzes the effective strategies for this integration, aiming to provide new perspectives and methods for high school biology teaching, stimulate students’ learning interests, improve the effectiveness of biology teaching, and inject new vitality into 21st-century STEM education.
