Abstract
STEM learning provides students with knowledge and concepts that have relationships and applications in everyday life. In addition, students are given many opportunities to develop the ability to think and literate through the process of engineering design based on scientific knowledge. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of STEM learning in improving scientific literacy of students at high school level. This study explores the integration of STEM performance to develop students scientific literacy. Learning Physics on the topic of global warming is implemented to produce solar cooker products. Data was collected from field notes, and scientific literacy tests with the value of student can describe and carry out experimental procedures 50%, student can demonstrate logical reasoning in explaining natural phenomena, experimental procedures or outcomes, and application of scientific or technological concepts 100%. Finally, the implementation of the STEM project in physics has provided opportunities for students in physics learning involvement and the development of scientific literacy.
