The document discusses integrating arts into STEM education to create a STEAM approach. It advocates for hands-on learning by exploring things in the environment and linking different subjects together. Examples are provided of using a smartphone microscope to observe various specimens up close and how this can spark students' curiosity by answering questions about things like why the sky is blue. The importance of storytelling and social interaction for students is also highlighted.

 We learn things around us
 We know how to link/fuse/integrate
relevant subjects to the thing
 We know how to explain
(storytelling) to students
 We persuade students to have their
hands on and social interaction
