STEAM Lab - School Library Journal

Science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) are highlighted in these lab-focused titles that engage students in hands-on learning. Opening with a table of contents, an introduction on the umbrella topic, and tools needed to prepare lab projects as well as important lab rules, each title includes six activity labs utilizing mostly everyday household items. Three paragraphs accompany full-page captioned photographs, and vocabulary words are highlighted in bold throughout. Each activity has a short paragraph about the lab, what is needed, and a picture of the finished project. A numerical list of instructions is provided, but there aren’t accompanying photos for each step. Additional “Lab Facts” are included, helping to create connections between the project and real-world scientific principles. Each title ends with a section devoted to the people working in related fields, such as paleontologists and aerospace engineers. Back matter includes a glossary of vocabulary terms, online resources, and an index. VERDICT Fun STEAM lab projects sure to get learners excited about a variety of careers.
