What are the benefits of STEM?
One of the most popular subjects among homeschoolers is STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). Not only is STEM activity essential for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, but it can also be a lot of fun.
Make sure to take the time to visit a pumpkin patch and see the different types and sizes of pumpkins that farmers grow.
It’s a great activity to pick out your own pumpkin and carve it for Halloween. Then you can learn about the parts of a pumpkin as you’re digging out the pulp and seeds.
You can also use pumpkin in your cooking, we make a delicious pumpkin soup but my kids are not a fan of pumpkin pie.
Whether you’re looking for homeschooling science experiments or engineering projects, there are plenty of ways to get your kids involved in a STEM activity.
