A reminder of how art can be included in stem will make a better classroom.

There wasn’t just one solution. Some of the ideas students came up with were:
– To create a container that would hold the banana
– To create a removable pocket that I could attach to any bag so that the banana would have it’s own place to not get mushed
– To simply carry the banana at the top of the bag

Once they built their prototype I had them test it with bananas that ultimately became banana bread. We have a lot of mushing happening! Here’s the Banana Saver that I actually use to carry bananas in my back: https://www.amazon.com/Peregrine-609230-PEREGRINE-Banana-Yellow/dp/B002A8HSXW.

I’m currently working with 4-5 year olds. I had no idea that STEAM could apply to the early ages. thanks for sharing. Do you know of any helpful websites or resources that I could use in my classroom?

We do all kinds of hands-on activities, but I’ll need to do some research to see what kinds of projects would focus on this type of concept in our classroom, especially with our 3 yr olds.

This is very much needed. I believe it to be very beneficial to all children Many of us simply did not know how to incorporate this into our daily curriculum.

My second grader has a stem class and excels in it more than other class! It’s something that grasp him,I know art and science is an important part of the learning process also! Great article.
