STEAM (Mrs. Deering's Website)

S.T.E.A.M. stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. All of these disciplines contribute to the larger picture of improving the world in which we live by solving problems. At STEAM Team meetings students are exposed to a number of STEAM opportunities and have a chance to share their enthusiasm for STEAM with others.

Below you will find a number of links to help you on your STEAM journey

Periodic Table Challenge

Mrs. Deering is challenging all STEAM Teamers to memorize the Periodic Table by learning the Periodic Table song. This is a unique blend of music and science – music is SUCH a great method to foster sequential learning! Note that memorizing the Periodic Table is so much more useful than memorizing Pi!

Here’s a video link to help you out – note that you can slow it down by using the settings “gear”
