When winter arrives, we have always believed it is better embrace the changing season than to try and fight it. Some folks complain about the cold, snowy weather – not us. Think of all the cool winter STEM projects we can try. Like all of these snow STEM activities for kids.
Yep, a good snowfall is a great time to try a snow STEM challenge with the kids or your students. And, if you happen to live in a place where the snow doesn’t fall – we’ve got you covered too. You can experiment with making your own snow from simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.
What do you think? Would experimenting with snow make those chilly days a whole lot more fun? We certainly think so!
What is a STEM Activity?
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. So, a STEM activity is a hands-on learning opportunity that involves at least one of these components. STEAM activities also include Art in the possibilities. It’s great to introduce your kids to simple STEM and STEAM activities at home and expose them to the joys of science, tech, engineering and math.
