Synopsis

Foster your child's curiosity!

How exactly does a bridge stay up?
Why are there so few people with red hair?
What's the probability that someone else has the same birthday as you?

Nurture your child's interest in the world around them through fun, engaging activities that teach as they entertain. Short for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, STEM represents much more than a collection of school subjects or classes. It's an exciting world that goes well beyond the walls of a classroom and into the world around us.

What's Your STEM? encourages your family to explore this world through 50 easy-to-follow activities like Water Rocket Launch, the Physics of Floating Feathers, the Geometry Scavenger Hunt, and Balloon-Powered Car. But the big takeaway from these experiments is not just how plants make food or how to separate salt from water. Your daughter might discover that she has a real knack for statistics--maybe she'd like her school's math club. Your son might realize he loves all things plants, and start volunteering at the community garden. Who knows? These interests could even spawn a successful career well down the road. The sky's the limit with What's Your STEM?
