In the K-12 classroom, there has recently been a shift to presenting students with real-life applications of science and mathematics concepts through integration of science and mathematics practices. As outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS; National Research Council, 2012), and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM; NGACPB; 2010), a thoughtful and authentic presentation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is accomplished through an integrated approach to learning in both the science and mathematics curriculum. Integration can be defined as "working in the context of complex phenomena or situations on tasks that require students to use knowledge and skills from multiple disciplines" (Honey et al., 2014, p. 52). In other words,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
