9 Interactive and Fun STEAM Experiments

The “Micro-Scientists – STEAM and Natural Science Experiments” Program is an interactive and educational experience for kindergarten children, designed to introduce them to the world of science through practical and fun activities.

The main purpose of the program is to cultivate children’s natural curiosity and help them discover basic scientific principles through experiments and activities focusing on the fields of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics). Children learn how to observe, experiment and discover the world around them through a series of fun and educational activities.

The program includes various activities that keep children interested and help them understand the importance of science and technology in their lives.

Experiments and constructions: Children participate in simple experiments and constructions that allow them to discover basic scientific principles. In oscillating activities, they observe how the force of gravity affects the motion and rhythm of oscillations. They also create their first electrical circuit, where they understand the concept of electrical flow and the connection of elements. Through these experiences, they enhance their knowledge of the natural forces at work around them.

Natural phenomena activities: Children explore the water cycle, watching the process of evaporation and condensation, creating a small model that represents its various phases. In addition, they experiment with the states of liquid and solid, watching how water can become ice and vice versa and how heat affects the state of matter. Through this process, children enhance their understanding of natural phenomena and gain experiences that connect theory with everyday life.

Creative experiments: Children have the opportunity to combine science with art, drawing with pendulums. They make snow and discover the properties of non-Newtonian liquids and their application to creativity.

Density experiments: Children experiment with layered liquids, using liquids of different density to create discrete layers in a container, understanding the concept of density.

Discussion and participation: Children discuss and share their views on the experiments and natural phenomena they explored. They are encouraged to think about the applications of this knowledge in everyday life and develop their imagination.

Objectives of the Program

The aim of the program is to create an interesting and fun experience for children, promoting their awareness about science and technology, as well as the development of critical thinking and creativity. Through these activities, children discover the exciting world of science and cultivate their skills in observation, experimentation and creation.

• Curiosity Development: Encouraging students’ natural curiosity through fun and interactive experiments that explore the world around them.
• Cultivation of Critical Thinking: Enhancing students’ ability to observe, think and draw conclusions from the experiments they conduct.
• Familiarity with Basic Scientific Principles: Provide a basic understanding of the principles of physics, chemistry and other natural sciences through practical activities.
• Development of Motor Skills: Improvement of fine motor skills through the use of tools and materials during experiments.
• Cultivate Creativity: Encourage creativity and imagination through experiments that combine science and art, such as pendulum painting.
