describe these facts in general terms.
3. Importance
Math and science serve a major importance in life. Both
of these are everywhere you go. Every second there
are millions of scientific reactions going on in the world.
It is important to understand the concept of science and

4. How it applies to 21st Century
Education
21st Century Learning consists of core subjects, pillars, and
themes that involve certain skills. 1. Mastery of core subjects. In
the case of math and science connected by interdisciplinary
themes such as global awareness and financial literacy
Math and Science are two of the core subjects that students need
in order to be successful in the 21st century. Math and Science
teach students basic problem solving skills that are necessary for
success in today’s world.
Technology helps educators expand learning styles to students to
get the most out of the learning experience. The information is
better understood to the student through technology.
5. Examples!
FaceBook- create group pages for lab groups to join and post
about their lab reports.
Twitter- follow scientists and learn facts!
Blogs- students can be given a problem (either math or science) to
solve. Once the problem is solved they can blog about how they
arrived at their answer.
WebQuest- Students can explore astronomy, the water cycle, and
many other scientific processes through webquest
YouTube-Students can watch videos on different ways to solve a
math problem. Or videos on whatever scientific subject they are
learning about.
