The Big Book of 100 STEM Activities is a bumper book of boredom-busting ideas for fun and educational things to do for curious kids and their grown-ups.

Developing an awareness of STEM themes from an early age is hugely important and encourages kids to be curious about their world and want to engage with it. This jam-packed collection of fun and simple activities introduces ideas and themes based on science, engineering, technology, and maths in an accessible and stimulating way.

You can learn about:

• Kinetic and potential energy while building a marble run
• Why your breakfast cereal is magnetic
• How to use gravity to make art
• How to grow yucky mould and stinky slime in the name of science.

Using crafts, play and simple experiments, these activities are presented in an easy-to-follow format and make use of everyday materials that you’ll find around the home.

Each activity provides a simple explanation of how it works and what the takeaway key STEM points are. Fill those rainy days and school-holiday downtime with things to do that are so much fun, the kids won’t even realise that they are learning at the same time!
