STEAM is education focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Science is everywhere—from animals, plants and the natural world, to health and nutrition, to tools and machines, and more! Children are naturally curious about their world and sciences encourage their love of exploration. Young children use trial and error, an important part of the scientific process. Adults can encourage curiosity by asking questions and allowing children to investigate many different possibilities. How do you think that works? Why do you think giraffes have long necks? What tool would help us do this job? What will happen to this ice cube when we put it in hot water?![]()
