There is a simple trick that school therapists and teachers use a lot for kids who have trouble sitting still. It is to put some Thera-Band stretched around a chair’s legs so that the student can push on it while sitting in their chair. It can help a child who has to be moving much...
There are certain simple experiments which really impress children. They might not entirely understand the explanation which lies behind them, but they’ll remember them for their whole life, and they could very well help them understand something in science class when the time comes.
Experiment #1 What will happen when I put raisins in a cup of sprite? After you do the experiment, you will find out that the raisins DANCE! My students L.O.V.E this experiment and think that it is hilarious that the raisins dance up and down in the Sprite! Click {here} for the raisin experiment Experiment #2 What does our heart do for us? We talked about the heart and it's purpose! Then, we observed our own pulse using a marshmallow and toothpick. What a great time to learn about the heart (Valentine's Day)! Click {here} for the heart experiment Experiment #3 Which object lets the most light through from our flashlight? Using a flashlight, we determined which objects (dollar, black paper, net, plastic wrap, and tin foil) let through the most light.

Last year, our school committed to becoming a STEM+A (plus Art) school. So far- I'm loving it!!! It has really got me thinking outside of the box for sure. I'm excited to share with you some ideas that I have with STEM in the future. For now, I've got some posters that I made for our 1st grade STEM+A Intro Day! For our STEM+A Intro Day, we rotated all of the first graders (split into 5 groups) through our classrooms. Each teacher took on one of the letters and taught the students about the meaning of that letter and how we use it in every day life. We want our students to know that STEM is everywhere! Then, we did an activity based on the letter we had. I had Math and we played Pokemon Go Addition (totally made the game up...haha). These posters are great for my students to refer back to.

Summer Activities for Kids Series: Indoor Activities
My students completed this STEM challenge this past week. Building a geodesic dome with a bag of jelly beans and toothpicks is not that difficult, so I added a few more rules to up the challenge factor! Question: Can your group build the strongest geodesic dome using toothpicks and all of the jelly beans in the bag? The kids found it really challenging to use all of the jelly beans. I got the toothpicks and jelly beans (one bag per group) at the Dollar Tree. Super cheap, super fun, and super challenging! Here are some of our geodesic domes prior to testing them for strength: As you can see, we had a wide variety of designs! Some of these domes were able to hold five textbooks before collapsing! You can use many different types of candy to build geodesic domes. Why not try these with your class? Here is the link to the STEM Challenge pack, if you are interested!
