US Grade Preschool
In this class, each meeting will focus on TWO different Valentine's Day STEAM activities. Each class will open with a show and tell of a different themed item each meeting to allow each learner a chance to talk and get to know their classmates (details will be posted in classroom prior to each meeting). Day 1: Heart "lava" lamp experiment and sensory play & Valentine thaumatropes Day 2: "Cupid's Tower" STEM challenge and "Dancing Hearts" experiment Day 3: "Candy Heart" experiment and tower building STEM challenge This is a jam-packed class, sure to keep little hands and minds busy. I will demo each activity, so participants can look on as they work. If we have time, I will finish each class with a short game or story. Everyone is encouraged to make a valentine for the class to show on the last day as "homework". Bonus if it contains a fun science or STEAM pun! *Please make sure you check the supply list prior to each meeting. I will also post reminders to the classroom*
Learning Goals
Students will apply the engineering design process and scientific method as they complete their STEAM tasks.
