100% engagement in writing their hypotheses.
Students are honing their coding skills. We covered the basics of coding and sequencing, and the students had the opportunity to independently program and test their robots!
A day spent learning about capillary action in plants, exploring primary colors, and forming a hypothesis.
A little assistance is provided when generating and illustrating the hypothesis for our Flower Power lab. We studied the components of flowers and their functions. We conducted experiments to test our hypotheses, and the students observed the final outcomes!
On-site field trip working on chemical reactions and changes in matter. The students learned about what a hypothesis is, how scientists use observations in their scientific work, and completed their own experiments in small group settings. Everyone got a chance to be involved and it was wonderful to see the children share their love of science!
Surface Tension & Surfactants
Students spent the day working on a three-part lesson, which included learning new vocabulary, forming hypotheses, conducting three experiments, and recording lab data. Our Mobile STEM Academy excels in providing custom lessons in small group settings, ensuring that all students and their teachers remain engaged. The teachers even participated in their own experiments!
Engineering Labs
Students tapped into their inner engineer and collaborated to brainstorm the design of a functioning roller coaster. Drawing on their knowledge of potential energy and how to convert it into kinetic energy, they worked together to get their coaster cars moving. This collaborative learning experience truly showcased the best of teamwork!
Incorporating Reading & Art
Incorporating reading into the lives of our youngest learners begins with the simple yet profound act of reading to them. By creating a cozy and inviting environment, we engage children with colorful picture books and lively storytelling that capture their imagination. This shared experience not only fosters a love for reading from an early age but also enhances their language skills, vocabulary, and comprehension. Through interactive discussions about the stories, we encourage curiosity and critical thinking, helping them connect the narratives to their own experiences. Reading aloud becomes a cherished ritual, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and a deeper appreciation for literature.
We incorporate art because it nurtures creativity, self-expression, and critical thinking, allowing them to explore and communicate their thoughts and feelings in unique ways. Engaging in artistic activities enhances fine motor skills and cognitive development, as children learn to observe, interpret, and make connections within their environment!
