Fun activities during our STEAM Stars today at Doyle Library providing information, cool videos and fun scientific experiments surrounding cloud formation, the importance of water to our lives and the devastating losses of rain forest habitats around the world.

Each child created their own working cloud formation with colors to exemplify the evaporation, condensation and precipitation cycles of the earth.

Another creative and informative project included decorating and formulating each child's own rain stick, which they each took home to remind them of the important rain forest lessons from the class.
