Projects & STEAM
 Here is Maestra Sandra and amigos planting beans using: cotton balls, water, and small cups. |  Here is Maestra Lizbeth showing amigos the reactions of "acids" and "bases". |
Projects are a great way to extend land create long term activities. Shorter activities like coloring pages and worksheets don't last so long and before you know it our amigos show signs of “bored-ness” and are ready for the next "thing". STEAM is also great because it integrates various subjects into projects that engage amigos! Below are some great science themed projects to keep amigos occupied.
Preschool Science
These are all fun and easy activities that will keep amigos entertained over time.
Rainbow flowers are perfect long term experiments. Have amigos take pictures so they track the flowers process over time.
Questions to ask: What do you think is happening to the flowers? Where is the color going? Maybe we can draw our guess?
En español: ¿Qué piensas que le está ocurriendo a las flores? ¿Dónde están los colores? ¿Quizás podemos dibujar lo que pensamos que está ocurriendo?
Planting Beans is also a lot of fun and a super easy way to track a plant’s life cycle!
