Elementary School STEM Demonstrations
Our goal is to inspire others to love the wonders of science, and one way we do that is by giving STEM demonstrations to third graders at local elementary schools. Here we are at Desert Willow Elementary! Student volunteers were chosen to help with the demonstrations, and we explored the concepts of chemical reactions, physical reactions, gravity, center of mass, air pressure, temperature, surface tension, and Newton’s Laws of Motion.
Let us know if your elementary school would be interested in STEM presentations for third graders! There’s no charge–they are provided through the support of our sponsors!
