Reviews

[Jill Widel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Experiments that are easy to read and to recreate that teachers and students alike could really enjoy.

A collection of 20 elementary-level STEM/STEAM projects. Some unique projects and some classic ones. Some don't have much of a lesson with some projects (like the Fake Blood and Fake Poop), but there's more information on others. Lots of pictures with the directions make the projects very clear for those following - always a plus. Overall, an average little STEM project resource book.

Yes, I've used this one for some of my STEM programs. I've done the naked egg (Icky Egg here), for example, and I'd like to do the Monster Soap and the Volcanic Wax some day.
