o Take a field trip. 

o Read a book. 

o Try water play. 

o Find shapes in the classroom. 

o Ask good questions.

• WHAT IS SamaSTEM ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS?

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. SamaSTEM for kids develops creators, thinkers, problem solvers, doers, innovators, and inventors. Exposing kids to simple SamaSTEM activities at an early age today sets a foundation for higher learning tomorrow. 

• WHAT ARE SamaSTEM ACTIVITIES?

SamaSTEM activities are creative experiments and projects that can teach real scientific principles in a fun, hands-on way. Here are some examples: Engineering. Building Egypt Great Pyramids, The Great wall of China, All the blocks-structures embedded Building Challenge explores engineering ideas. 

• WHAT DOES SamaSTEM MEAN IN EARLY YEARS?

SamaSTEM learning is the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering and maths and is part of our everyday lives. 

• HOW DO TEACHERS TEACH SamaSTEM?

In SamaSTEM teaching, you don't simply want to provide information and correct students when they make mistakes. Instead, an ideal SamaSTEM learning environment is all about asking questions and encouraging independent thinking.

SamaSTEM classes feature student-centered activities that interest students. They aren't likely to get sleepy when they're involved in a project-based lesson that asks them to solve a real-world problem. They are up and moving as they gather materials, plan, construct, and test prototypes. Noise is welcomed and normal.

• WHAT SKILLS DO CHILDREN LEARN FROM SamaSTEM?

Skills Derived from SamaSTEM Education: Other skills attained through STEM education include problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making, leadership, entrepreneurship, acceptance of failure and more about how to solve the real life challenges. 

• WHAT IS SamaSTEM IN LESSON PLAN?

SamaSTEM stands for “Science, Technology, Engineering and Math”. In education, SamaSTEM is a subject that includes mostly real constructions practical-project-based learning where students work together to solve a problem.
