This study established below research problems in order to suggest a new teaching and learning plan and examine the effects to the lower grades of elementary school through an assimilated approach of the 2007 revised curriculum. As a result of this study, first, the scientific class in which STEAM was applied didn't influence very much the formation of scientific content knowledge of the lower grades of elementary school. However, according the characteristics by student, it could be understood that it is effective to the formation of scientific content knowledge for a short time of period. Second, the scientific class in which STEAM was applied influenced the interest of the lower grades of elementary school in the science class and the formation of scientific interest and confidence in science learning. Based on these results, it can be considered that the scientific class in which STEAM was applied influenced the interest of the lower grades of elementary school in science and science learning and confidence improvement.
