STEM on the Go

Help me give my students a STEM experience in their homes during COVID 19.

My Students

My class this year is full of curious, inquisitive 4th and 5th-grade students who love to experience learning with a hands-on approach. I have a large number of students this year who are longing for the science and math experiences that take them beyond the state standards and into college readiness skills. Before COVID-19, my class participated in many science labs and stem activities that I coordinated with class materials.

"Our class is full of fun interactive science lessons that make learning fun," said one 4th grade girl to her mother.

Another student told the assistant principal on Halloween that "our class will be working on science experiments with a spooky twist."

My Project

STEM activities will be mailed to my students to keep the thirst for learning alive during these difficult times. In the STEM to Go box, students will receive multiple science and math activities that will engage the learning in the home setting. My students will build catapults using craft sticks rubber bands and ping pong balls as well as measuring the results. Students will learn the parts of plants and flowers by planting flower seeds and watching the growth process. Slime will teach the students about matter and polymers. We will make wind direction devices using clothespins and feathers. Multiple math games using cards and dice will keep my class sharp in their math skills.
