STEM Month

October was STEM Month and our classroom was full of Scientists, Technologists, Engineers and Mathematicians! Here's just a quick peek at some of our activities.

Science: Building boats using only marshmallows, straws and paper for a sail. Draw your design, build it and test it. Does it float? How do you make it move faster? How can you make it better?



Technology: Experimenting with color and shadow on the light table


Engineering: Building cubes sturdy enough to hold a ball 2" off the surface of the table, using only marshmallows and toothpicks


  
Mathematics: Creating shapes and replicating pictures with the geoboards
