Teaching materials as a support for the implementation of learning are needed so that they can be carried out properly in accordance with the competencies to be achieved from the learning process carried out. STEM is an approach that is suitable to be applied in a physics lesson in high school. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the needs of STEM teaching materials in high school physics subjects. The research method used is descriptive using three objects studied including high school physics teachers (3 teachers through interviews and 44 teachers through questionnaires), documents including syllabus and teaching materials, and 183 high school students (83 students in class X, 51 students in class XI and 49 students of class XII) by using a questionnaire. The results show that there is a need for STEM-based teaching materials in high school physics learning to support students' skills in problem solving and product design. The recommendation given is the need for the development of STEM teaching materials in high school physics subjects.
