Although our curricula in our country are not suitable for the education of integrated disciplines such as STEM, scientists, teachers and education administrators were caught up in this exciting trend in the world and continued their studies immediately. The main starting point of this book is to give the disciplinary achievements to the students in an integrated, meaningful and effective way instead of separately. The book has been written within the framework of the effectiveness and necessity of STEM education, which is applied by academicians who are experts in the field of STEM with teaching-learning approaches in the field. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction of the scientist who introduced the relevant teaching-learning approach and continues with literature reviews on the relevant teaching-learning approach of STEM education and how both can be used together. These parts, which are mentioned in many chapters in the book, have also been tried to be schematized by the authors. You will understand that every part of the book was written with a different excitement and scientific passion, when you can't put the book in your hands and put it down. The last part that will make students, teachers and academicians addicted to the book is the part where the authors explain the STEM activities they have implemented in detail in the "Lesson Plan" setup. A book has been put forward in which both our teachers and the academic community can clearly see how teaching-learning approaches and disciplines are integrated and product-oriented studies can be done. In this context, the book has a different place from other STEM books. We hope that this book, which we think will open the way for interdisciplinary studies as well as transdisciplinary studies, will be beneficial to the world of science.

Use the power of the integrated disciplines approach!

Ebru Güller, Ayça Tokuç, Gülden Köktürk, Kutluğ Savaşır Our Nature and Architecture Project for Junior Designers stood out among 206 projects in 2017 and was deemed worthy of support by TÜBİTAK 4004 Nature Education and Science Schools. In 2018, it was entitled to be supported for the second time. We think that the biggest share in this success is that it is a sincere and sincere project. It is a process-oriented study, not a result-oriented one, and has been designed in many activities. The aim is for children to experience an interactive process where they have fun while playing and learn while having fun. Our children have carried out 2 and 3 dimensional design works with great devotion in a short period of time such as 1.5 hours. We congratulate each and every one of them for their great ideas, unique solutions to environmental problems and successful designs...

Fevzi Köksal, Rahmi Köseoğlu This book was written to fill the gap in the independent physics book especially for students in engineering and technology majors, no doubt the book is very useful for science students as well. At the same time, those who do not want to be modern people and stay behind technological advances should definitely read this book. Today, the applications and applications of physics and the wave properties of matter have increased so much that it has been necessary to write independent physics books all over the world. For this, firstly, the concepts of motion, work-energy, moments of inertia, properties of matter, real and ideal gases, liquefaction of gases, equipartition of energy, diffusion and viscosity are given briefly and strikingly, and basic physics concepts are explained in two parts and their applications are briefly shown.
Beginning from the third chapter, the examination of the wave properties of matter and their applications have been examined. These are interference, diffraction, and polarization. Thus, Young's experiment, thin films, Newton's rings and their applications are studied. Chapter four explains the diffraction phenomenon. Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction, diffraction grating and applications are included. The fifth chapter covers the polarization phenomenon. Polarization patterns, delay plates, bicolour, and resolution of unknown polarization are explained in detail. Here, Kerr effect, Faraday effect and photoelasticity which is important for engineering and its applications are explained. The sixth chapter is devoted to the topic of superconductivity. If the superconductivity temperature is raised to room temperature, this issue is very important for engineering, technology and science as engineering and technology in the world will change completely. The seventh chapter gives a summary of quantum mechanics, but quantum mechanical tunneling is explained in detail and its applications are given in a way that cannot be found in any book.

STEM education; students' summer camps, museum training, etc. It can also be applied in out-of-school learning environments. In the 2023 Vision of the Ministry of National Education, “In the next 3-year period, at primary, secondary and high school levels, students, teachers, education administrators, public, curriculum, educational content, etc. With the studies to be carried out, it will be possible to integrate production skills such as coding, 3D design, electronic design into learning processes.” The expression emphasizes out-of-school learning environments and STEM education. In this context, it is thought that STEM activities that can be applied in out-of-school learning environments will make the education-teaching process productive.
In the book consisting of 17 chapters; the aforementioned out-of-school learning environments were introduced and examples of STEM activities that could be done in these out-of-school learning environments were given. With these examples of STEM activities, which were inspired by the lessons taught in out-of-school learning environments, out-of-school learning environments and STEM education were combined. Also in the book; Out-of-school learning environments that are not frequently mentioned in the literature such as parks, coffee-book environments, greenhouses, sample/excavation sites, coding workshops, digital/virtual out-of-school learning environments are also included.
It is thought that this book, which we think will contribute to both national and international literature, can be easily used by teachers, teacher candidates and academicians from all branches and levels, with a planned practice discipline rather than theory.
Cross the borders with STEM in the construction of the future!
