Nursery Rhyme Science Time: Winter Wonderland

Another installment of my STEAM-themed program. I'll be continuing this program next year under the name Little Scientists. Although "scientist" doesn't cover all of the STEAM topics, I think it will be easier for patrons to remember and give me a little more leeway with planning activities. I missed taking pictures of a few stations, but these were the biggest hits-

Watercolor resist paintings

Using math cubes to build winter objects (seriously the biggest hits of all the stations)

Ice cube experiment- kids tried lifting up an ice cube with a string. When that didn't work, they sprinkled salt on the ice cube, counted to 10, and tried again. It worked!

Snowflake shape building- we made snowflakes with all different shapes and (mostly) tried to always start with a hexagon, just like real snowflakes.
