STEAM Activities for the summer can really inspire kids to learn more about engineering, math, technology, arts, and science. Here are a few examples of STEAM Activities kids can do at home. Remember to take notes in a science journal and pictures of your final product. With parent permission, post your work to the Brain Blog page on this website.
Note to Parents Do you wonder how to keep your child learning during the summer? Use this STEAM summer calendar!
Activities are accessible to students of all levels with little or no supplies needed. Activities provide hands-on learning that will ignite student’s curiosity in exploring the world around us. The daily activities will incorporate math concepts, scientific thinking, critical thinking, communication, creativity, and real-world problem solving. STEM Activity Calendar! STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
Math Monday Students apply math concepts to real world scenarios. Examples: Budget for a shopping trip, measure your heart beat, cooking using fractions.
Outdoor Tuesday Students get outside and explore nature! Examples: Build a bird feeder, plant a flower, go bird watching.
Science Wednesday Students explore scientific concepts with hands-on experiments and observations with common items. Examples: Make a lava lamp, design a baking soda/vinegar experiment, discover tongue theory.
Engineering Thursday Students will explore engineering through design and building activities using household items. Examples: Design a catapult, build a water balloon helmet, invent a new alarm system
Fun Friday Students get a mix of science, engineering, and math activities with the goal to have some fun. Examples: Create an obstacle course, make symmetry art, design a senses challenge.
Students should be encouraged to keep a journal throughout the summer. Ask students to record any observations, thoughts, or questions after each activity along with pictures or diagrams.
Some activities will require adult supervision or guidance.
