Let's Eat STEM Program

Thank you to all the teachers and students at schools that hosted me in their classrooms during 2025-26. Thank you for the "thank you's" and the love. Stay curious and keep learning! -- Mrs. Z

Always an honor to be a grant recipient from amazing organizations, like Valley View Educational Enrichment Foundation, that work to help our children learn and grow.
Thank you to the amazing schools that had me come into their classrooms this 2025-26 school year

STEM learning in the classroom-- use some old potatoes that are starting to bud to help teach about plants and plant structures! Learn about tubers and how they differ from roots!

Great lessons this week. Engaged, excited, and respectful 4th grade students. Found a nice message on one of my question boards 🥹 Got a classroom applause 👏And a class "5-finger swag wave"👋
Well done to the students, teachers, and admins for creating an environment of supportive learning, positivity, and wonder

Bravo to Ms. Wolfe's class on figuring out the extra credit math problem-- how many spoons of sugar is in this movie theatre "cup" of pop? 😳☠️

Just think how easily we can mindlessly drink all of that while sitting in a movie for 2 hours.

Classic book! 💩 Do people still read this to their young ones?!
I've mentioned it in several classes now when talking about fiber and haven't come across a student that knows it yet. 😢

Learning some STEM about corn and popcorn for summer!

At the end, students got to taste what natural, air-popped popcorn tastes like without all the fats, salt, and flavor chemicals added to it. Surprisingly, they ate it up!

We've been learning the STEM behind some "summer" foods.
Cutting some parallel and perpendicular lines, aka dicing, to make our cabbage into cole slaw.
