STEM standing for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.&nbsp; Adding Art to the mix makes STEAM.<\/p>\n<p>A&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/hub.mspnet.org\/index.cfm\/27336\"><strong>2014 study<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;published by the America Society for Engineering Education identified several characteristics of quality STEM programs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The context is motivating, engaging, and real-world.<br \/>\n2. Students integrate and apply meaningful and important mathematics and science content.<br \/>\n3. Teaching methods are inquiry-based and student-centered.<br \/>\n4. Students engage in solving engineering challenges using an engineering design process.<br \/>\n5. Teamwork and communications are a major focus. Throughout the program, students have the freedom to think critically, creatively, and innovatively, as well as opportunities to fail and try again in safe environments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Therefore, we researched and found a few fun STEAM and STEM crafts that parents can join their kids in creating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Invisible Ink<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>What you need<\/em>:<br \/>\n-1 lemon<br \/>\n-cotton swab(s)<br \/>\n-sheet of white paper<br \/>\n-sunlight<br \/>\n-iron or lightbulb<\/p>\n<p><em>What to do<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl and add a spoonful of water. Mix gently. Dip the swab into the liquid and write a message or draw a picture on the paper.<\/li>\n<li>Let the liquid dry completely so that the message or picture is invisible. To share your secret, set it in sunlight, hold close to a lightbulb, or iron (with adult help).<\/li>\n<li>The message will be revealed! Hang it as artwork or share it with a friend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Diluting or adding water to the lemon juice makes it very hard to see when you apply it to the paper, but lemon juice is an organic substance that oxidizes and turns brown when it\u2019s heated up. This means that no one will notice that the secret is there until the paper is heated and the message is revealed! Other substances that work in the same way include orange juice, honey diluted with water, milk, onion juice, and vinegar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2258\" style=\"width: 646px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kdnovelties.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ink2-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2258 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kdnovelties.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ink2-2.jpg\" alt=\"Invisible Ink STEM project for kids\" width=\"646\" height=\"351\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Invisible Ink<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bath Bombs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>What you need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00bd cup citric acid<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 cup baking soda<br \/>\n&#8211; \u00bd cup corn starch<br \/>\n&#8211; \u00bd cup Epsom salt<br \/>\n&#8211; Essential oil of your choice<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 tsp. water<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 tsp. olive oil<br \/>\n&#8211; Sphere-shaped mold (we used clear plastic ornaments)<\/p>\n<p><em>What to do:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Combine citric acid, baking soda, corn starch, and Epsom salt in a large bowl.

Mix it together quickly and thoroughly so it doesn\u2019t begin to bubble. Once it\u2019s all combined, let the mixture sit for a few minutes; it should look and feel like wet sand.

Pin onto the felt pad with one needle and use the other to \u201cfelt,\u201d or to press the needle up and down repeatedly. The tiny barbs on the end of the felting needle compress the fibers into a desired shape. Turn the roving often and continue felting until it forms a semi-firm and uniform ball. Felt on a thin piece of roving in a different color if desired (to make the blue swirls on Neptune, for instance). Repeat to make additional planets.<\/li>\n<li>To make the sun, pull a 4- to 5-inch-diameter tuft of stuffing and wrap with yellow roving to cover stuffing completely.<\/li>\n<li>Paint two paint-stirring sticks and let dry. Mark five holes, spaced about 3 inches apart, on one of the paint sticks. Drill. Place the drilled stick over the other one as a template, mark holes, and drill.<\/li>\n<li>With the sticks in an \u201cX\u201d shape, line up the center holes; use the needle to thread the sun through the center hole. Knot to desired length. Twist in the fish-eye hook from the top to secure the paint sticks together. Secure the planets to yarn with the needle and thread up through remaining eight holes. Knot in place at desired heights.<\/li>\n<li>Add a chain to hang; felt on small amounts of wool to planets as needed to balance the mobile.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yardstick Launcher<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>What you need:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Clean metal can (like a coffee can)<br \/>\n&#8211; Scrapbook paper<br \/>\n&#8211; Tape<br \/>\n&#8211; Yardstick<br \/>\n&#8211; Acrylic paint and paintbrush<br \/>\n&#8211; Hot glue<br \/>\n&#8211; 4 plastic disposable cups<br \/>\n&#8211; Rubber band<br \/>\n&#8211; Ping-pong balls or other small objects<\/p>\n<p><em>What to do:<br \/>\n<\/em>1. Cover the can with scrapbook paper and secure with tape. Paint the yardstick; let dry.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Use hot glue to attach the plastic party cups to one end of the yardstick (an adult&#8217;s job). Secure the can to the middle of the yardstick with a rubber band.<\/li>\n<li>Place ping-pong balls or other small objects in the cups, then stomp or press down firmly on the free end of the yardstick to launch the projectiles across the room.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>How does it work?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A lever is a simple machine made from a rigid beam (in this case, the yardstick) and a fulcrum (the can). When a downward force is applied to one side, it triggers an opposite reaction, sending the unattached load (the ping-pong balls) flying. You can change the amount of effort it takes to move those balls by adjusting the mechanism, too: the closer the can is to the cups, the less work it takes to move the projectiles.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arts and crafts can help kids show off and explore their creative side, but aside from dabbling in the arts, crafts can help kids explore other subjects like science and engineering. &nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of STEM for children is to develop a variety of skills that are essential for success: critical thinking and problem solving, creativity [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1011,761,758,786,1010,1009,760],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fun STEM &amp;
