Super Cool STEM
With or without a grownup - Ms. Denny's April newsletter
Dear Inquisitive Shaw Sundogs Everywhere,
This newsletter is a compilation of interesting and engaging STEM activities for all ages. With school closed, kids often ask, "What experiment can we do today?" This is my answer to them and I'm excited to share it with you.
Stay safe & be well,
Ms. Denny
Do you have the tools for experiments at home?
Yes! This is a collection of great science experiments that are done in a jar. Just a simple jar, from jam, or pickles, or whatever. It'll be absorbing for kids of all ages and older ones can do them independently. No protective gear required!

One of the cool things about math...
Is that learning to solve math problems gives us the tools to solve ALL kinds of problems. Forget about a simple algorithm, the best problem-solving happens with trial and error, using your own thinking. Dive into this weekly problem!
