STEAM, like STEM, is an integrated approach to learning that encourages learners to make connections between the concepts they are learning and how they apply them to real-world problems. STEAM helps students ask questions, problem solve, think creatively, and produce innovative solutions. - Creativity / Art : Investigating a range of materials and combining them, exploring colour mixing .What happens when colors meet each other? Does the color stay the same? Use only primary coloursand try to mix them by blowing air through your straw. What colors did you create?
Science: Using air to make things move, investigating and experimenting with answering a challenge. Explore how velocity works by controlling gusts of wind in this STEAM activity for kids . Discuss wind velocity. How does faster or slower wind change your artwork? - Motor Skills: Hand/eye coordination, fine motor skills, pincer grip
- Engineering : What happens if you use more than one straw? Build an anemometer with cups and straws and measure the velocity of wind from your straws, a hair dryer, or even a fan.
- Math : Can you identify any patterns or shapes in your artwork? Cut the straw. What happens when you blow through a different length of straw? What lengths work best?
