STEM education(short for science,technology,engineering and mathematics)originally originated in the United States and was later widely used in educational reforms in various countries and it has become the mainstream curriculum in the international science education.In recent years,STEM education has begun to be concerned in China,which is regarded as one of the solutions to solve " Qian Xuesen ' s question." Many cities in China conform to the international trend and research on STEM education.Combined with the local education facts,They have developed corresponding education models,and are increasingly perfect.Therefore,the research and application of STEM is of great significance to enhance the educational strength of our country.Core literacy is an important concept in the field of education in China.The core literacy of biology has become an indispensable research content in the biology teaching of high school.The 2017 edition of the Standards for Biology Courses in General High School systematically clarifies the significance of this concept in biology teaching and the study of biological problems.At present,in the field of biology teaching,it has been recognized that cultivating students ' core literacy is not only the pursuit of value in biology courses,but also the teaching goal to be achieved in biology courses.Therefore,we combined STEM education and biological core literacy is theory,discovered the instruction design of cultivating students ' core literacy based on STEM education and verified in practice.This process is very important,especially in the field of teaching and education reform.Based on the above analysis,I will combine STEM education with biological core literacy of " scientific inquiry " literacy,explore a feasible teaching design,in order to achieve the purpose of improving students " scientific inquiry " literacy.During the internship of a senior high school in Binzhou,the author explored and implemented the teaching practice.This article focuses on the ability of STEM education to cultivate the“ scientific inquiry ”of students ' core literacy.Based on the above analysis,I take literature research,educational experiment andinterview as the research methods of this paper.Document research method will run through all aspects of this paper,summarize the relevant concepts,and complete the teaching design.On the basis of this,the author uses educational experiment method to integrate the experimental class into STEM education.Finally,the differences between the two classes after the experiment are analyzed by interview method.The research content of this paper includes two kind of theoretical researchers which major in STEM education and the core literacy of biology.Through the literature reading and analysis of related materials,the STEM concept and STEM literacy are interpreted and defined.In addition,the core literacy of the high school biology department,especially the " scientific inquiry " literacy,is studied in depth.On this basis,the theoretical basis of STEM education is clarified and persuasiveness is enhanced.Then,based on STEM education to complete the instructional design.On the basis of summarizing the characteristics and application principles of STEM education,the teaching design pattern is studied.Then based on the STEM education concept,analyze the teaching materials,learning situation and determine the teaching objectives to select the appropriate case to complete the design of the teaching process.Next part is the practical research stage.The research plan is implemented on the basis of determining the purpose of the research,the research object and the research tools.After the end of the teaching experiment,the students will be tested by paper and pencil test,the teacher analyze the data and interview,and get more accurate teaching feedback based on quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis.Finally,it summarizes the harvest of STEM education in biology classroom.STEM education can not only improve students ' scientific inquiry literacy,but also improve students 'life concept,scientific thinking and scientific inquiry literacy through appropriate and feasible teaching design.This will also be the direction of my future teaching practice.
