Attended. Stem camp

Math

• The child learned about basic algebraic concepts such as variables and equations.
• They learned to solve multi-step word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• They practiced measuring and estimating lengths, angles, and volumes using various tools and formulas.
• They explored geometric shapes and learned to calculate their perimeter, area, and volume.

Science

• The child learned about the scientific method and how to conduct experiments and make observations.
• They studied the different states of matter and learned about the concept of energy and its forms.
• They explored the world of plants and animals, learning about their life cycles, habitats, and adaptations.
• They learned about the Earth's ecosystems and the importance of conservation and sustainability.

To continue developing the concepts learned at STEM camp, encourage the child to engage in hands-on activities at home. For math, they can solve real-life word problems, create their own algebraic expressions, and measure objects around them. For science, they can conduct simple experiments using household items, observe and document changes in nature, and research more about specific topics of interest.
