STEAM Box To Go Theme For June
STEAM Box To Go Theme For June
- Spinning Snack Spinner : For Ages 2-6This craft will help you learn about probability. Probability is the chance of something happening. We can calculate probability and use it to predict what might happen in the future! Let's start by using it to choose a snack. This craft will take approximately 15 minutes to do.
- Sticky Slime : For Ages 7-12
- How to make sticky slime! This experiment can get messy. Put down wax paper to catch any sticky spills. Although there's nothing poisonous in the mixture, don't put the slime in your mouth. If you want slime that is more gloppy, warm water is ideal- not boiling, which can scald you. It's also a good idea to wash your hands after you've finished playing with the slime. This craft will take approximately 20 minutes.
