STEAM Lab for Kids is an art-forward doorway to science, math, technology, and engineering through 52 family-friendly experiments and activities.

While many aspiring artists dont necessarily identify with STEM subjects, and many young inventors dont see the need for art, one is essential to the other. Revealing this connection and encouraging kids to explore it fills hungry minds with tools essential to problem solving and creative thinking.

Each of the projects in this book is designed to demonstrate that the deeper you look into art, the more engineering and math youll find.

Following clear, photo-illustrated step-by-step instructions, learn about:

Angular momentum by creating tie-dyed fidget spinners.
Electrical conductors by making a light-up graphite-circuit comic book.
Kinetic energy by constructing a rubber-band racer car.
Parabolic curves by creating string art with pushpins and a board.
Symmetry by making fruit and veggie stamp paintings.
And much more!

Along with the creative, hands-on activities, youll find:

Suggestions for taking your projects to the next level with Creative Enrichment.
Accessible explanations of the The STEAM Behind the Fun, including cross-disciplinary related topics.
Safety tips and hints.

The projects can be used as part of a homeschool curriculum, for family fun, at parties, or as educational activities for groups. Many of the activities are safe enough for children as young as toddlers and exciting enough for older kids, so families can discover the joy of STEAM together.

Una novela que sorprende por su forma de abordar una Historia compleja y dolorosa, un legado de belleza y de una profunda espiritualidad, así como la plaga de adición, maltrato y suicidio entre los nativos americanos.Ni aquí ni allí es un relato intergeneracional con un ritmo implacable sobre la violencia y la superación, la memoria y la identidad, la belleza y la desesperación incrustadas en la historia de una nación y su pueblo. Cuenta la historia de doce nativos americanos, cada uno con una razón personal para ir al gran powwow de Oakland. Jacquie Red Featehr hace poco que ha dejado el alcohol y está intentando recuperar a la familia a la que, para su vergüenza, abandonó. Dene Oxendene está reconstruyendo su vida después de la muerte de su tío y va a trabajar en el powwow para honrar su memoria. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield ha ido a ver bailar a su sobrino Orvil, que ha aprendido danzas tradicionales indias viendo videos en YouTube y en esta reunión será la primera vez que baile en público. Allí vivirán una gloriosa comunión y un espectáculo de tradición sagrada y gran boato. Y también vivirán el sacrificio, el heroísmo y una sensación de pérdida inenarrable.
