The Big Book of 100 STEM Activities is a bumper book of
boredom-busting ideas for fun and educational things to do for curious
kids and their grown-ups.
Developing an awareness of STEM themes from an early age is hugely
important and encourages kids to be curious about their world and want
to engage with it. This jam-packed collection of fun and simple
activities introduces ideas and themes based on science, engineering,
technology and maths in an accessible and stimulating way. You can learn
about kinetic and potential energy while building an awesome marble run,
why your breakfast cereal is magnetic, how to use gravity to make art
and even how to grow yucky mould or make stinky slime in the name of
science.
Using crafts, play and simple experiments, these activities are
presented in an easy-to-follow format and make use of everyday materials
that you'll find around the home. Each activity provides a simple
explanation of how it works and what the takeaway key STEM points are.
Fill those rainy days and school-holiday downtime with things to do that
are so much fun, the kids won't even realise that they are learning at
the same time!
