This chapter explores how science education concepts may be integrated within STEM education contexts to enable student understanding of those concepts. We outline why STEM education is a strategic priority in many educational jurisdictions and note that a continuum of entry points into STEM education translates into a range of definitions and classroom implementation strategies. Aspects of science education (pedagogical practices, topic areas and skills) that lend themselves to STEM inquiry units are discussed with examples provided of how science concepts may be embedded and assessed.
