STEAM Projects

This cross-curricular approach is an effective way to expand a child’s understanding that relationships exist between language, literacy and science. Children discover important science concepts like migration, solar energy, geography, eco-systems, and how animals live in harmony with nature. Children begin to link Earth, life, and physical science concepts to solve the clues.
