This episode of The STEM Spark I share three fun and easy STEAM experiments families/friends/caregivers can try at home using simple materials: dancing raisins, paper towel art, and marshmallow towers. Each activity sparks curiosity while teaching real science concepts like buoyancy, capillary action, and engineering. Parents will also get an at home guide giving Materials, instructions, guiding questions and background science info to make the experience both playful and educational.

In this episode of The STEM Spark, we explore the power of “What If” STEM experiences—those imaginative questions that inspire hands-on experiments and creative problem-solving. By asking “What if?” learners can deepen their understanding, build resilience, and spark curiosity in science, technology, engineering, and math. Tune in for practical ideas to bring “What If” scenarios to life at home or in the classroom!

Easy STEAM Experiments – Adult Guide

When I review STEM products, I look at how well they teach important skills and concepts while keeping learners engaged and having fun. I share my honest thoughts on ease of setup, quality, value for money, and any tips to get the most out of the product. My goal is to help you decide if it’s the right fit for your classroom, home, or STEM adventure. This episode I review Magnet Tiles and the Crayola STEAM Paper Flower Kit.
