Static Electricity

Pinspiration:  STEM Bored Jar

I've pinned this one before, but we have since used more ideas from this post.  The author claims to have 48 STEM activities to prepare in 5 minutes or less.  This is true... as long as you have the materials on hand.  Most of the items can be found on hand, if you are remotely crafty, but really, you need to plan ahead if you want to be able to make good on any activity they pull out of the jar.

The kids really enjoyed putting the butterfly together, and using the balloon to make him fly.  (It did work!) However, this activity only occupied my kiddos for about 2 minutes.  If you really want to give your kids something to occupy their time with a rich learning activity while you cook dinner, you will need to find a different activity.







Happy STEAMing!
