STEM Snowflakes

After reading Snowflake Bentley, my friends put on their engineer hats, designing and creating magnificent STEM Snowflakes. They are amazing engineers and their snowflakes were quite impressive. 

Research shows that early exposure to STEM has positive impacts across the entire spectrum of learning. For example, early math knowledge not only predicts later math success, it also predicts later reading achievement (National Research Council, 2012). I love engaging my friends in STEM activities.

Icebergs and Snow

We explored solids and created icebergs and snow! We learned that snow is a solid, frozen H2O & no two snowflakes are alike. We had so much fun learning about solids.
