In this STEM class, we will complete experiments from various studies of science (chemistry, physics, earth sciences, life sciences, etc.), learning what's actually happening during all that fun. It may get messy! It will certainly get crazy! But my goal is for students to learn two things: science is happening everywhere and science is FUN!
