Teaching students the awareness of human impact on the environment and inspiring them to be a part of the solution is vital to our future on this planet. With this PLTW/STEM project, students were able to identify aspects of cleaning up an oil spill in a created environment. Students had a variety of materials available to create the environment, destroy it with oil, and then try to clean it up using various methods and science.

In this PLTW/STEM activity we were making glue out of powdered milk! The main ingredient is a protein in milk called casein that you can turn into glue by adding a catalyst to cause a reaction. Our catalyst was vinegar. Once we added the vinegar we were able to create a curd. After drying the curd we then added a smidge of hot water and baking soda to make a paste. We also made a flour based glue. Once the glues were made we tested them on 3 different types of materials to see how well they would hold! The students were surprised at how strong each glue was.
We have kicked off the 2024 cheer camp!

The recipe for success on this particular day included milk, heavy cream, sugar, salt, ice and either vanilla, strawberry or chocolate flavoring to make ice cream. Once combined into plastic bags, students had to mix the concoctions until they froze into ice cream. This lesson in STEM came from Project Lead the Way, an organization that provides hands-on curriculum in subjects such as engineering, computer science and biomedical science. The students enjoyed this "tasty" lesson!
