The article did an excellent job of explaining the distinction between stream and stem. It provided extensive information about the definition of each letter, for example. Scientists have discovered and established a link between working with our hands and fingers and mathematical abilities. Because our finger and hand movements occur in the same areas of the brain as math, it is no surprise that musicians and math proficiency are frequently correlated (a true STEAM exercise).

This video was a great way to show kids that science experiments don't have to be complicated. The children introduced new vocabulary that teachers can discuss, and it also demonstrates to children that science does not always work out. I also like how they combined engineering and science in the video to demonstrate how the two work together. They not only showed engineering but also art in this video, which is great for stream learning. It was a brilliant idea to include extra activities that the kids could do on their own or in the next episode.

The book is an excellent resource for teaching students how to conduct a scientific experiment. It also demonstrates how science experiments do not always succeed.
