STEAM Lab for Kids: 52 Creative Hands-On Projects for Exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (Volume 17) (Lab for Kids, 17)
STEAM Lab for Kids is an art-forward doorway to science, math, technology, and engineering through 52 family-friendly experiments and activities.
While many aspiring artists don't necessarily identify with STEM subjects, and many young inventors don’t see the need for art, one is essential to the other. Revealing this connection and encouraging kids to explore it fills hungry minds with tools essential to problem solving and creative thinking. Each of the projects in this book is designed to demonstrate that the deeper you look into art, the more engineering and math you’ll find. "The STEAM Behind the Fun" sections throughout explain the science behind the art.Â
Learn about:
Angular momentum by making tie-dyed fidget spinners
Electrical conductors by making graphite circuits
Kinetic energy by making a rubber band shooter
Symmetry by making fruit and veggie stamps
And much more!
From graphite circuit comic books to edible stained glass, young engineers and artists alike will find inspiration aplenty.Â
The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how to create your own circus—all authored by established experts in their fields.
