Greetings again from LibraryLand!
WELCOME TO THINKING THURSDAY
Today's offerings have some fun activities for you to do at home.We call these activities STEM (an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math)
Add Art and and the activities become STEAM
And my personal favorite...add Reading and you have STREAM!
While all of these are TOTALLY FUN to do on their own, ask yourself:
1. WHAT is actually HAPPENING?
2. Did your creation work as planned? WHY? Or WHY NOT?
3. WHAT HAPPENS IF...I make a change?
4. Can I HACK THIS to create something NEW???!
As you work (or play!), try to take note of what you are actually doing. And if things don't go as planned, remember:
FAIL is just another acronym for First Attempt In Learning 💡
and another favorite expression:
TRY...FAIL 😕
TRY AGAIN...FAIL BETTER! 😁
These websites each contain TONS of links to numerous STEM, STEAM & STREAM activities.
which ones do you like best?
