Have you wanted to try STEAM projects at home with your kids but have absolutely no clue how to start? Do you love the idea of hands-on learning but need a little push to actually try it? Consider this your website!
Cooking, repairing a bicycle, gardening, helping you fix the toilet, taking care of a fish tank – these are all activities that could be suitable for your child. Think of others that involve observing, asking questions and defining problems, looking for evidence, evaluating information, planning and investigating, measuring, using tools – all practices of scientists and engineers that you can encourage at home. Encourage scientific play in young children. Provide water, vegetable oil, food coloring and a bowl in a "mess allowed" area of the kitchen. Check this website for more information!
