STEAM Lab for Kids: 52 Creative Hands-On Projects for Exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (Volume 17) (Lab for Kids, 17)

Description:

About this item:

STEAM Lab for Kids is an art-forward doorway to science, math, technology, and engineering through 52 family-friendly experiments and activities.

While many aspiring artists don’t necessarily identify with STEM subjects, and many young inventors don’t see the need for art, one is essential to the other. Revealing this connection and encouraging kids to explore it fills hungry minds with tools essential to problem solving and creative thinking.

Each of the projects in this book is designed to demonstrate that the deeper you look into art, the more engineering and math you’ll find.

Following clear, photo-illustrated step-by-step instructions, learn about:
 
  • Angular momentum by creating tie-dyed fidget spinners.
  • Electrical conductors by making a light-up graphite-circuit comic book.
  • Kinetic energy by constructing a rubber-band racer car.
  • Parabolic curves by creating string art with pushpins and a board.
  • Symmetry by making fruit and veggie stamp paintings.
  • And much more!

Along with the creative, hands-on activities, you’ll find:
 
  • Suggestions for taking your projects to the next level with “Creative Enrichment.”
  • Accessible explanations of the “The STEAM Behind the Fun,” including cross-disciplinary related topics.
  • Safety tips and hints.

The projects can be used as part of a homeschool curriculum, for family fun, at parties, or as educational activities for groups. Many of the activities are safe enough for children as young as toddlers and exciting enough for older kids, so families can discover the joy of STEAM together.


The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how to create your own circus—all authored by established experts in their fields.

Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Whether you’ve got a mini engineer at home or a pint-sized Picasso, this new book of hands-on activities is the perfect intersection of both art and science and will pique the interests of kids who love either. ―Red Tricycle

There are so many cool experiments [...] expanding beyond the engineering into the arts―WCCO-CBS Minnesota

Liz makes science accessible and fun.―Elizabeth Ries, host of Twin Cities Live

Liz Heinecke is a genius at making learning fun at every level. Her fascination with the natural world and science in general is contagious.―Kim Insley, KARE 11 Sunrise Anchor

The Kitchen Pantry Scientist and microbiologist mom has another winning book on her hands. With the help of a diverse cast of kids, Liz walks the reader through loads of fun activities using simple household supplies that build science, math, engineering, art, and technology skills.―Kim Moldofsky, publisher of TheMakerMom.com

If you have little ones with hands (and brains) that need to keep busy, be sure to check this out!―Joanne Loves Science

Liz Heinecke’s STEAM Lab for Kids is one of the best tools I have ever encountered for teaching relationships between STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and the arts. The projects are fun, exciting, and engaging. From safety tips and hits to clear step-by-step instructions and materials lists, this book makes STEAM fun and user-friendly. The products of the hands-on labs are absolutely beautiful – these could easily be used as gifts for family and friends! Sure to inspire any young scientist, the short explanations of “the STEAM behind the fun” and “creative enrichment” for each lab are wonderful additions. Also, I am pleased to see photos of a diverse group of children sharing their joy in doing the labs; I cannot express the value that such a consideration brings. As a scientist, I am thrilled to see the many STEM concepts that I use on a daily basis integrated so creatively with art using materials that are around the house or at local craft and tool stores. I want to try all 52 with my son! I cannot wait to use these labs for my future science outreach.

―#BLACKandSTEM founder, Stephani Page, PhD

Such a FUN book, like all the lab books from Liz! I love that my 11 year old can do most of these experiments with no help, and the rest are just mild supervision (Safety Tips and hints are included on all of the labs)!―Bless Their Hearts Mom

Liz Heinecke’s books would have been perfect for me when I was a kid: I grew up with an intense scientific curiosity about the natural world around me and the chemical world underlying it. Her home-brewed experiments would have captivated me. Now as the father of a 10-year-old "kitchen pantry scientist" and slime-maker, I appreciate Heinecke's work all the more. Busting boredom is excellent in itself, but making a kid feel like a scientist while they’re having fun - that’s brilliant.―Dan Wilson, singer and songwriter of Closing Time, Not Ready to Make Nice, & Someone like You

Its an amazing book filled with incredible at home experiments, activities, art projects and much more all geared toward making science and math so fun that your kids don’t even realize they are learning! ―My Crafty Zoo

The book is enthusiastic about inspiring problem solving and creative thinking, and helping artists and engineer-minded kids alike to find inspiration in STEM projects.―Sprittibee

About the Author

Liz Lee Heinecke has loved science since she was old enough to inspect her first butterfly. After working in molecular biology research for 10 years and earning her master’s degree, she left the lab to kick off a new chapter in her life as a stay-at-home mom. Soon, she found herself sharing her love of science with her three kids as they grew, chronicling their science adventures on her KitchenPantryScientist website. Her desire to share her enthusiasm for science led to regular television appearances, an opportunity to serve as an Earth Ambassador for NASA, and the creation of an iPhone app. Her goal is to make it simple for parents to do science with kids of all ages, and for kids to experiment safely on their own. Liz graduated from Luther College and received her master’s degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is the author of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids, Kitchen Science Lab for Kids: Edible Edition, Outdoor Science Lab for Kids, STEAM Lab for Kids, Sheet Pan Science, and Little Learning Labs: Kitchen Science for Kids. Her namesake series, The Kitchen Pantry Scientist, pairs illustrated biographies with engaging hands-on activities inspired by their work. The books in that series include: Chemistry for Kids, Biology for Kids, Physics for Kids, Math for Kids, and Ecology for Kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excited 11 year old!

A.C. · January 20, 2021

We bought this and the kitchen version for our niece for Christmas. She was ecstatic and immediately started noting the experiments she would try first, scheduling video meetings so we can watch. My wife says they look so fun she is going to try a couple.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to home library

B.S. · February 13, 2020

I ordered this to supplement my son in his homeschooling curriculum. It brings together concepts for science, technology, art, and math. Excellent find and I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to supplement concepts their child is learning in school.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... Kitchen Pantry Scientist and I knew I’d get some great experiments for my three children

J. · May 31, 2018

I was very excited to get STEAM Lab for Kids – I have the other books from the Kitchen Pantry Scientist and I knew I’d get some great experiments for my three children, ages 12, 9, and 7. Looking at the experiments in this book, however, I feel like this is going to be my favorite. My kids are going to absolutely love these – the only problem is deciding which one we should do first this summer! Right now I am leaning toward either Tessellations (my kids love both gum and hot glue guns!) or the Fruit Fraction Animals.These books have easy to follow instructions, pictures that show the steps, and make it very easy to learn STEAM while having a ton of fun. I look forward to more of these books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun!

K.A. · July 29, 2018

Fantastic ideas! I teach a kitchen science camp & this book has been great for expanding some of our experiments! The kids loved everything we tried & when I put the book out, they all picked out more experiments they wanted to do at home. A definite keeper!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent project book

G. · November 13, 2022

Many different science activities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for classrooms

F. · July 18, 2020

This book has many cool projects no doubt! But it is not appropriate for classroom projects. Almost all of them need close supervision, so this book is very good if someone wants to have some science fun with one child or small number of children at home.

Love the book and general lay out

Not for UK education

T. · September 3, 2021

For kids under 10. Not very good for UK education system.

Too simple projects for my grandson (10) - not the most captivating book.

C. · August 10, 2018

Headline says it all - expensive for what it is.
