DSKI came alive with curiosity and excitement as students celebrated STEM Week in the STEM Room through a series of engaging, hands-on experiments. The week provided young learners with meaningful opportunities to explore science concepts while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
One of the highlights was the Static Electricity experiment, where students discovered how objects can attract or repel without touching.
The Grade 2 students used different fabrics to create static energy that could move an empty soda can across the table. Their excitement grew even more when they discovered that a charged balloon could make their hair stand up, turning learning into a moment of laughter and wonder.
The Quicksand experiment was another favorite, allowing students to investigate how solids and liquids can act together in unusual ways. They eagerly tested on the dinosaurs how objects sink or stay afloat, deepening their understanding through exploration.
In the Rainbow Water activity, students explored color mixing and density, creating vibrant layers that sparked discussions about how liquids behave.
A particularly exciting challenge was designing the strongest boat that could hold the most marbles. Students worked collaboratively, testing and improving their designs while applying creativity and engineering skills.
STEM Week at DSKI was a wonderful celebration of inquiry, innovation, and discovery. It encouraged students to ask questions, take risks, and learn through experience—building a strong foundation for future scientific thinking.
STEM Week at DSKI was truly a celebration of exploration, discovery, and joyful learning.
