STEM Fun
This year we will be focusing on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Here we are learning about temperature and thermometers. We are practicing counting by twos (most thermometers use this scale) to read the thermometer and record the results after immersing it in ice water and hot water.
