AQUIDNECK SCHOOL LIBRARY MAKERSPACE
STEAM and Library--SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2022
Welcome Back to the Library Makerspace!
- In STEAM, students know that there is no STEAM without TEAM--and that it is important to make KIND choices as they work collaboratively through their STEAM projects!
- In Library, students have learned responsible book care and how to check out books.
Creating a STEAM TEAM Community!
S=SCIENCE
T=TECHNOLOGY
E=ENGINEERING
A=ARTS

Students also conducted a science experiment using baking soda and vinegar. While observing the chemical reaction, students discussed how they could calm down a "feelings' explosion" in STEAM when teamwork gets tough!
