Sticky Stem Learning

Help me give my students paint, flour, cream of tartar, and a few other items to create salt dough maps of different landforms found in the United States.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Short's classroom raised $262

This project is fully funded

My Project

We all wonder and want to explore.. and then we grow up, unless you get to teach like me! Allow my students to continue to explore their natural wonders and curiosities of the world while working with their peers on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills through STEM activities.

The requested items will allow students to engineer their own learning with their peers in a variety of fun ways!

Students will use the materials to create salt dough maps to strengthen their understanding of the features of the different land forms found in the United States of America, as well as the science of how erosion and weathering effect them over time. Students will be able to bring to life all of what they are reading in text books!
