Kindergarten STEM
Kindergarten students are exploring the world of STEM through hands-on investigations and creative problem-solving. Students practiced their skills by sorting objects based on physical properties, applying what they discovered to design and build their own kites using different materials, and experimenting with sink-or-float challenges. Keep up the exploration, Kindergarten!
