Home STEAM challenges

Be sure to go to my blog and check out the new page called Home STEAM challenges. It lists ideas for STEAM challenges you can do at home while we are off school. Below is a list of materials that will be helpful to start collecting for our Home STEAM challenges.

Please start collecting materials to do STEAM at home. We will be building a lot of things using what you have around the house. “Junk” or recyclable items are exactly what you will need. Some ideas are:
-egg cartons
-cardboard
-plastic containers (yogurt cups, coffee cans, coffee creamer bottles, etc…)
-newspapers
-milk jugs
-bottle tops
-carboard tubes from toilet paper and paper towel rolls
-pop bottles/cans
-netting/bags from onions and oranges
-broken toys (can be used for parts)
-craft materials
-anything you think can be reused in an interesting way!

Check out my last blog post, “Hey, That’s My Monster!” for your first STEAM at Home lesson.
