SUMMARY:Homeschool STEAM Club: Grades 3-5
DESCRIPTION:Our Homeschool STEAM Club for children entering grades 3-5 is all about engineering the best swing set possible! \nThroughout the five lessons\, children will use project- and problem-based learning to investigate\, design\, build\, and test different swing set models. They will draw on physics\, mathematics\, engineering\, English language arts\, and social studies to do the following: \n\nCompare swing set designs for both safety and fun factors.\nRecognize gravity and friction as forces; evaluate the forces that affect both children’s bodies and swing sets on the playground; and spot ways these forces play into design challenges.\nUse the engineering design process to create alternative shapes and designs for a swing set.\nCollect data using mathematical tools and record data with line plots and bar graphs.\nBuild models of their proposed designs and write blogs to summarize the improvements that maximize playground fun while minimizing risks.\n\nEach week children will learn something new about about physics and engineering\, and engage in hands-on activities. We encourage children to attend all five sessions in November and December\, if possible\, as each lesson builds on the last.  \nFree for MHDM members\, $5 for non-members with museum admission. \nProgram begins promptly at 2 pm.
