Why STEAM?
There are so many ways to introduce STEAM activities to your children. Experimenting doesn't need to be difficult. It can be as easy as setting several items in a muffin tin (an ice cube, a rock, a crayon, ice cream, and a rubber ball, for example) and wait to see which ones melt. Why did some melt and some didn't? How does something change when it melts?
If you'd like STEAM activity ideas for use at home, please ask! We always have creative ideas we love to share.
Yours in Learning,
Mrs. Lori
