Join Jane and Niko in an exploration of experimental design and animal behavior, because STEAM is everywhere and for everyone!
Part of STEAMWORKS, a series of fiction picture books for ages 4–7 that relate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to kids’ everyday lives.
When Jane and Niko gather worms to populate their outdoor worm house, they design a series of experiments to ensure their worm habitat is exactly what the worms want: Dirt or no dirt? Light or no light? Art or no art? Through observation and note-taking, the siblings “talk” to their worms and learn how to make the optimal habitat.
Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about experimental design and animal behavior and fun STEAM activities.
STEAMWORKS features children of all backgrounds and abilities using scientific and mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems and answer questions that matter to them. Playful stories and extension activities ignite excitement for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) and empower children as thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators.
STEAMWORKS picture books are also available in Spanish.
