The Stem Laboratory

The Stem Laboratory is a site that provides a large number of experiments and activities for students from preschool to second grade.  The site offers teachers with a large variety of free activities and experiments as well as a kits available for purchase.  The website is organized with the grade levels at the top of the page, and each heading the expands into four different labels; science, technology, engineering, and math.  This organization allows one to easily find activities that target the specific skills you wish to engage your students in.  The website is well organized and easy to navigate. Each activity and experiment offers a thorough description of the task and the materials that are needed.  There are also seasonal or holiday themed activities that teachers can use during specific parts of the year.  

The activities and experiments are great for these younger grades because the overall goal of introducing STEM activities to students at a young age is to get them excited and eager about engaging in the elements that will help “prepare them for our STEM filled world!”
