This program was intended to introduce STEAM concepts through stories and exploration activity stations to families with children ages 3-8 years old.
Intro song #1: Hello Friends
(sign language action song for the words hello, friends, science, fun, and
time)
Hello friends,
Hello friends,
Hello friends,
It's time to say hello.
Hello science,
Hello science,
Hello science,
It's time to have some fun.
Demonstration and Storytime:
·
Show the word cards for volcano,
erupt, lava, and magma. Talk
about what these words mean.
·
Read:
I’m a Volcano! By Bridget Heos, illustrated by Mike Ciccotello
·
Show an image of the
inside of a volcano. Talk about how the
magma comes up through the volcano.
·
Demonstrate how some
volcanos erupt using an unopened clear soda water bottle (as seen at https://www.nps.gov/teachers/classrooms/soda-bottle-volcano-and-mount-rainier.htm)
·
Instruct on how to use
the stations
Stations:
Station #1- Fizzy volcano
eruption (similar to what was modeled at https://preschooltoolkit.com/blog/volcano-preschool-science/)
The children follow the
directions to create their own fizzy chemical eruptions.
Station #2 – Erupting volcano
painting (as seen at https://lupwaiparentwhisperer.com/volcano-facts-with-volcano-lapbook/)
Children cut out a
volcano shape out of brown paper. Then
they glue this shape onto the background paper.
Next, the children use pipettes to drop red and orange colored watercolor
paint above the volcano. They use straws
to blow the paint into an erupting shape.
Station #3 – Types of volcanos
and where they are in the world
The children look at the
photos of volcanoes from around the world.
They can also use the “4 Types of Volcanoes” chart (https://owlcation.com/stem/4-Different-Types-of-Volcanoes-Cinder-Cones-Lava-Domes-Shield-and-Composite-Volcanoes)
to identify the types of volcano in each photo.
Next, use the map on the wall to find out where each volcano is in the
world.
