The aim of STEM Applications is to study the impact of high school students on their conceptual understanding and scientific creativity. In this study, STEM Applications will enable studies to integrate wider disciplines by addressing the lack of aspects of the STEM approach used in existing educational programs in science education. It is believed that this understanding will contribute to the teachers of science who want to transfer this understanding to their classes and gain different perspectives. 12 students were included in the control group, 12 students were included in the experiment group. The courses in the control group are conducted on the basis of research and survey, MEB Science courses are conducted with methods and techniques in accordance with the program, while in the experiment group the research and survey-based program is implemented with the appropriate methods and techniques "STEM Applications" focused on activities. The research has used the "Cavramsal Understanding Test (KAT)" prepared by the researcher for the "Cavramsal Understanding" variable for the field of science. For the "Scientific Creativity" variable, the experiment group analyzed the documents obtained throughout the process with "Scientific Creativity Questions", "Design Materials", "Visual Material Presentation"; "Scientific Creativity Rubric (BYR)" and "Material Assessment Rubric (MDR)." According to the findings, students with low levels of success and interest in the lesson have a positive development in their conceptual understanding and scientific creativity skills within the subjects "Power and Energy", "Light's Substance and Interaction".
