"Each class and the learning/play activities have been enjoyable in their own right, but I think the biggest benefits have been in Little STEAMers as long-term activity to prepare my daughter for school and help me support her play and learning."
In this topic we explore air with some fun science and art.
We find out about air by exploring different ways to make bubbles and take on some fun ways to play at moving different objects around with air. We also try some other investigations with hairdryers and fans to extend our learning.
In this topic we explore what chemistry is as we learn about reactions and making things change.
We explore three different chemistry experiments together and learn about making observations. The reactions are simple enough to try at home while still giving you plenty to say "Wow!" about.
In this topic we explore the life cycle of caterpillars with some caterpillar maths games, a touch of engineering, a science reaction and zip line butterfly fun.
It's the perfect topic to talk about spring, minibeasts, new life/life cycles and outdoor exploration. You could even get some caterpillars yourself to watch grow and release as butterflies.
This topic explores robots and where they are used around us, including how robots are programmed.
We don't write code or even use a device, but instead we learn important skills needed for coding: logic, sequencing and problem solving as we take on practical activities that help us build our own robot playmate.
In this topic we explore space, stars and the Moon for all space lovers as we go on an adventure into space together.
We learn about how astronauts get to space and take part in fun activities to create our own star constellations, simulate a rocket launch and decorate a bumpy Moon surface.
This Halloween special topic explores potions with lots of science and maths.
We learn about mixing and combining different ingredients as well as separating some of them back out again. We then make our own spooky halloween lava lamps. There are plenty of fun games and activities for children to continue on after the end of the online class.
When you finish three topics I'll post you a personalised certificate for your child or children so you can display it at home to celebrate all your learning!
