Stem Prep Little Lab

Did you know Thanksgiving cooking is packed with STEM fun for kids? 🍁

While you prep for the big meal, invite your little helper to play scientists in the kitchen! Exploring with cornstarch and water (aka "magic oobleck") shows solid and liquid states in action.

Let them mash sweet potatoes and talk about change and textures, or watch yeast make bread rise; it's all chemistry at work! You don’t need special supplies, just a curious mind and everyday ingredients.

Ask questions together: What happens when we stir, heat, or mix? What does it smell and feel like? Tiny scientists love exploring their senses (and getting a little messy).

During B is for Biologist week, our little lab after school students learned all about Maria Montessori and closely observed natural objects. Maria Montessori was a biologist and teacher who lived more than 100 years ago in Italy. She believed that children were natural scientists. She noticed that kids learn best when they can explore with their hands, look closely, and discover things on their own. Instead of always telling children the answers, she gave them tools and materials so they could observe, experiment, and figure things out by themselves.

Calling all little scientists!
