Children at birth are natural scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers. They consider the world around them and try to make sense of it the best way they know how: touching, tasting, building, dismantling, creating, discovering, and exploring. For kids, this isn’t education. It’s fun! The projects below are a part of our unit one where we will be tackling the NGSS standards MS-PS1-1 through MS-PS4-4 to better prepare for high school, college, and beyond. Plus science is better enjoyed when hands-on with a literacy base background. The egg drop kits and roller coaster kits will allow our scholars to practice science from an engineering perspective. Please help out by donating anything you can or suggesting places/people who are willing to help our scholars grow in the STEM field.
