Now is the time for spring STEM activities<\/strong> for kids! Bring science, technology, engineering, and math time into your springtime learning stations. Easy to set up experiments and activities for preschoolers ages 3 and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although originally written for young children, I set these stations up for my kindergarten and 4th grader too. They had fun exploring spring STEM after school and were able to extend the concepts even further.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to Organize Spring STEM Activities for Kids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We like to set up learning centers that children can rotate between throughout the week. I keep the materials for each station in closed Tupperware containers to not distract the children during other parts of our learning day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During center time, The children choose what center to start at and I rotate between stations observing and assisting. If there is a different adult in the room, I will often as them to assist with the messiest or most complicated station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some children may opt to build egg sculptures every day (and that’s ok!)  I encourage children to try every station, but do not make it mandatory. Some teachers require children to try each learning station once before doing one a second time. No matter what you choose, stay consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routines help young children know what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
