We’re only a few days into the school year, but our youngest Spartans are already busy exploring, experimenting, and discovering in STEM! 💙🧪
🔊 Kindergarten explored the science of sound, learning how vibrations create the sounds we hear—and then putting their learning into action by making their own noisemakers!
🌡️ First grade turned up the heat with an experiment to discover how color affects heat absorption. Students placed ice cubes on blue and white paper, made predictions, observed what happened, and discovered that the ice on the blue paper melted faster because darker colors absorb more heat.
They even connected their experiment to everyday life: there’s a scientific reason light-colored clothing can help keep us cooler on a hot, sunny day! ☀️👕
This is what STEM looks like at St. Peter’s: asking questions, testing ideas, making observations, and discovering how science connects to the world around us.
And we’re just getting started! 💙
