(Tip! Kids can also practice taking and recording measurements and weights and test with different sized parachutes or figurines of different weights, like this kid did.) Kids can explore how parachutes work by making their own and testing with toy animals or figurines. Capes can provide drag when flying or falling, which means they work a bit like a parachute. Make a Parachute: superheroes almost always have cool suits or uniforms, and many classic superheroes have capes.What kinds of STEM jobs are related to the superhero STEM activities you explored this week?.Which science or engineering activity did you try? What did you learn?.Can you simulate or explore those abilities using science or engineering? Why or why not?.Who are some of your favorite superheroes? What special abilities or powers do they have?.Use these questions to prompt conversation and reflection this week about the science behind the superhero-themed science activities: Print this out and use it as a check-list for activities you try this week! You can also print and use our simple activity log (PDF) if you want to encourage your younger students to reflect on their activities.
#SUPERHERO KINDERGARTEN BOOK ACTIVITIES PDF#
(For older kids, we have extra recommendations this week for exploring electronics and e-textiles.) Tip: This downloadable PDF contains a summary of the ideas for Week 7. We hope your kids have fun trying these activities as part of their imaginative play and worldbuilding this week! They'll be using and learning more about science and engineering while spending time playing creatively. We don't have activities that can really help kids fly, shapeshift, or even climb tall buildings, but all of these activities play nicely with classic superhero themes. The activities in Week 7 of our Summer of STEM tie in with superhero storylines and mythology.
Whether they fly, climb, jump, shapeshift, have super strength, control the elements, or have other superpowers, superheroes use special skills and abilities to solve problems and save the day. Superhero stories appeal to people of all ages.
