Did you know that you can make spaghetti dance? Try this activity to find out how.
Did you know that you can levitate something under the right conditions? You can be a science magician and make something float. You need to know the electrifying secret to this. Static. Static electricity. Try the Static Flyer.
Don't forget to write a Mission Report to describe what you have learned!
Check back next week to find out what the science principles that help to make this work.
Learn a fun science trick that you can do with your friends (after some practice). It requires some patience to do, but it is really great fun to do.
What scientific principle is involved here? It has something to do with the properties of water. I will post the reason next week. I want you to think about it...
Also, does it make a difference if the water is colored? What about if the water is soapy? Don't forget to record your ideas and observations on a Mission Report!
Use your fresh strawberries to discover something special...DNA.
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Whew! That is a big word! It is so much easier to say DNA. It determines the genetics of the individual organisms. DNA is present in every cell of all plants and animals.
Learn why the strawberry is really not a berry and why it has seeds on the outside with Wonderopolis.
The first summer STEM mission will be posted on June 11th.
The mission topic will match up to a special event happening on campus - the first GSB Community Garden Strawberry Harvest Festival! Hope to see you at the festival! |
