STEAM Powered Poetry: Exploring Science Through Verse

Help me give my students diverse poetry that connects creative expression with STEAM concepts, inspiring cross-disciplinary thinking and building confidence in literature, arts, and sciences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Price's classroom raised $769

My Project

My students are incredibly curious, creative thinkers who approach the world with open minds and a desire to make connections across disciplines. When engaged in both analytical and artistic thinking, they truly shine. Many students who struggle in traditional STEAM classes find their voice through creative expression, while our science enthusiasts often discover unexpected joy in poetry's precise language and structured patterns.

This poetry collection transforms our library into a laboratory of language where students can explore scientific concepts through verse.

Books like "Full Cicada Moon" will spark discussions about space science and physics, while "Starfish" connects marine biology with personal growth. "Blood Water Paint" merges Renaissance art with chemistry, and "The Poet X" examines biology and psychological well-being through powerful slam poetry.

The complementary STEAM materials extend learning beyond the page. Our Digital Poetry Recording Studio enables students to experiment with sound engineering while recording spoken word performances. The Light Box Poetry Creation Station introduces principles of optics and visual design. Our 3D Poetry Puzzle Set encourages spatial reasoning and engineering thinking through tangible word construction. Finally, the Botanical Poetry Garden connects literature directly to biological sciences, allowing students to grow plants mentioned in the poems they're studying.

Through this integrated approach, students will discover that scientific precision and poetic expression aren't opposing forces but complementary ways of understanding our complex world.
