This study focused on the effects of the program on creative problem solving ability, scientific process skills and affective domain in elementary student’s level. The study subjects were composed of two groups of fifth grade students in J province. The experimental group was involved to learn in the integrated education program class, while the comparative group participated in traditional science lessons. As the result, the developed STEAM program contributed to the significant improvement of elementary students’ creative problem solving ability, scientific process skills and affective domain. The authors propose that STEAM program for plants health monitoring using Infragram is a powerful approach to facilitate learners’ development of these skills.
