Description
Created to introduce young children (3-6 yrs.) to the Sciences, this resource book is perfect for families, preschools, library programs or every opportunity presented to youngsters to experience science.
Divided into 5 sections: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math, the activities focus on four core skills: creativity, communication, teamwork and critical thinking. Activities are clearly explained and include supply list, vocabulary, step by step instructions, predict and hypothesize guidance, and extension activities to add more STEAM activities.
As an example, one activity involves children making a magnetic powered car using a toy car, 2 magnets and road tape. The activity begins by discussing magnetic forces as an alternative power source prior to driving the car using the 2 magnets. Predict and Hypothesize activities focus on using cars with different weights. Additional STEAM activities include creating a city to navigate the car through. The authors recommend children and parent/teachers keep a STEAM journal. An excellent introduction to STEAM that is flexible for a variety of learning situations. 94 pgs, sc. ~ Deanne
