STEM Lessons

One of our favorite things in the Learning Lab is hands on science demos.  Luckily, we have a great partnership with Oakland University which allows students in the Education Program to complete some of their field hours at the Baldwin Center.  The past few weeks one of these such students, Sarah Robertson, has been teaching her lessons here.  Students have loved learning about everything from chemical reactions by building their own lava lamps, to phases of the moon using Oreos.  Sarah was kind enough to share the lesson plans she had created, along with her Powerpoint.  Awesome!
Learning about phases of the moon and eating Oreos?  Yes, please!

Mykell is enjoying watching how the particles in his lava lamp react to the Alka-Selzer
