Why do they not need to apply a force themselves to make a car go down a ramp? We investigated. I had them jump up and notice that they used their legs to PUSH them up.

We watched a video of astronauts floating and talked about how we would all float away into space if gravity did not PULL us down to the earths surface! We came to the conclusion that gravity pulls their cars…

Eye Dropper Painting: Art Meets Science! . We set watercolor paper on easels and provided the littles with liquid watercolors & eyedroppers. Overheard 1,000 times: "Look at THE GRAVITY. What goes up must go down!" #steam . Find yourself thinking: "What about all that wasted paint?!"

Through the process of experimenting and exploring with STEAM the child is using creative and critical thinking skills. To set this invitation we first wrapped recycled boxes with butcher paper. Then we placed…

Many of you have commented that attention spans at your art tables run short. Shorter than short. Maybe almost nonexistent. And I want to support you in two ways: one is to say that this is so normal for toddlers and preschoolers to give an art project their 4-minute all, and two is that I […]
