Third graders at Basalt Elementary School experienced an innovative twist on their typical Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) classes on May 16. The students from the third-grade "red class" engaged in hands-on activities and experiments facilitated by the Aspen Science Center. This collaboration aimed to make STEM education more interactive and enjoyable for the young learners.
During the event, students participated in various experiments that sparked their curiosity and encouraged critical thinking. They explored concepts in physics and biology through practical applications, reinforcing their classroom learning with real-world experiences. The partnership with the Aspen Science Center provided valuable resources and expertise, allowing students to dive deeper into the scientific principles they’ve been studying.
Teachers noted the excitement among students as they conducted experiments, fostering a love for science and discovery. This initiative not only enriches the students’ educational journey but also highlights the importance of community partnerships in enhancing learning opportunities.
