STEM and STEAM Ideas for Middle School Students
S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) or S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities are an engaging way to get students interested in class. Many students may be surprised to learn that creativity plays a role in math fields. STEAM activities can allow students to apply the concepts they’ve learned in math or science class in new ways. While some schools are offering STEM classes, you may want to occasionally incorporate STEM or STEAM activities into your math class. I’ve gathered a few simple STEAM ideas that are perfect for engaging middle schoolers.
