The study aimed to investigate the level of science teachers' perceptions about stem approach and its relationship with some variables. A descriptive method was conducted via using a questionnaire, which consisted of two categories, namely: knowledge about stem, and knowledge about its teaching requirements. Validity and reliability of the questioner were assured. The study random sample included (136) science teachers in Medina Monawara. Analysis of data showed that the level of perceptions of science teachers on knowledge about stem and its teaching requirements were high. Moreover, results revealed that there were no statistical differences in science teachers' perceptions related to teaching experience, while there were significant differences with regard to teaching stages (elementary, middle, and high schools). Finally, the study posted several recommendations, such as: the need of training programs and workshops for science teachers about the nature of stem and how to plan science lessons with stem and implement them in classrooms; and the need of including stem courses in teacher education programs.
