Exploring our wonderful, and sometimes challenging world,
through scientific experimentation at Doyle Public Library provides young
people with the skills and confidence to tackle tough science, technology,
engineering, art and math (STEAM) subjects.
Wednesday, June 7, our STEAM Stars explored color and the
color wheel, learning how to mix primary and secondary colors to create a
myriad of new colors for their very own Pineapple Art project. Young people learned about light and how
shining the light through a prism breaks the light into all the colors of the
rainbow.
As our STEAM Stars explored light and the sun’s properties,
we learned how important it is to avoid ultraviolet (UV) rays and how to
protect themselves from the sun, and avoiding too much exposure to the sun’s
harmful rays.
Our young people then learned about how the sun rises and
falls in the sky by tracking their shadows and explored the upcoming solar
eclipse on August 21, making an eclipse viewer to safely view the upcoming
solar eclipse. They learned about how
the moon causes the eclipse by intercepting the pathway orbit between the sun
and the earth, exploring how the little moon can cover the great big sun to
create the eclipse.
Every Wednesday morning, from 11 to noon, Doyle Public Library
hosts its Summer Reading Program STEAM Stars providing young people with fun
science-based learning activities and learning projects throughout June, July
and the first two weeks of August.
