What does it take to turn four familiar experiments into a meaningful STEAM experience for approximately 50 students?
Next week, the 901STEM team will facilitate four hands-on stations:
• Elephant Toothpaste
• Iodine Clock
• Volcano Chemistry
• Foil Boat Engineering
Behind each activity is careful preparation: testing procedures, organizing materials, planning for safety and developing explanations that work for both younger and older students.
The goal isn’t simply to produce a dramatic reaction or build a successful boat. We want students to ask questions, make predictions, test ideas and understand what happened.
Accessible hands-on learning may look simple at the table—but thoughtful preparation is what makes it safe, welcoming and meaningful.
We’re excited to put everything we’ve been preparing into action next week.
