STEAM education is an approach to learning that uses science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics as an access point to encouraging student collaboration, inquiry, critical thinking and problem-solving. In the first instalment of our STEAM Experiments course, Stunning Science, students will gain invaluable hands-on experience conducting their own scientific experiments while learning the fundamentals of chemistry.

Some experiments students will conduct will include:
- Launching a Rocket. See how chemical reactions can defy gravity!
- Making Eruptions. Learn why combining some chemicals has explosive results!
- Creating Unique Reactions. Learn how and why some chemicals interact in interesting ways!
- Building a Volcano. Create a volcano and then use chemical reactions to simulate an eruption!
In this course, students will be focusing on how to improve these core skills:
Scientific Method
Did you know that scientists follow a strict set of steps when completing experiments? In this course, students will learn about this set of steps, called the scientific method. From asking a question and forming a hypothesis, to collecting and analysing data to determine a result, students will work through this process for each of their in-class experiments.
Principles of Chemistry
Learning the basic principles of chemistry will form the foundation for each experiment within this course. Students will begin to develop their knowledge of reaction dynamics and how a variety of chemical substances interact with one another to produce a given outcome.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
An important skill for scientists, students will focus on developing their ability to think critically to solve challenging scientific problems. For example, why does a reaction happen under one condition, but not under another? Students will learn to ask the right questions about an experiment, and then to deduce possible answers to those questions. They will also work toward analysing results from each experiment, not only to determine the outcome, but also to develop ideas for further scientific inquiry.
Cross-Discipline Application
STEAM disciplines are all interconnected. Not only will students learn about chemistry in this course, but they will also begin to learn how to take information from one discipline and apply it across a variety of others. This cross-discipline application is an invaluable tool for developing a complete understanding of a topic and for furthering inquiry into each discipline.

Student Requirements
Age: 7+
Deadline
Deadline to sign up is 6/20.
Students who cancel their reservation before 6/20 will not be charged.
Additional Materials
Students will need to have these materials in order to participate:
- A clean workspace
- Paper Towels
- Water
Preparation Before Class
- Students should prepare their workspace before class. It is ideal that students cover their space with newspaper or paper towel, as some experiments may be messy.
- While it is optional for parents/guardians to supervise their child, it is highly recommended.
