Science, Techonology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Tips for Kids
My girls and I were so bummed that our tweets were not showing up for our very first participation in a Girls Night Out (twitter hashtag #gno) with dear mommy blogger Jyl at MomItForward.com this past Tuesday because the topic was dear to our hearts: Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM).
We had some short tips ready to share with the mommies, and we tried our best to keep up with the questions only to find that no one can see us 
So, mid-way through we dropped out of the party
But, I couldn’t let our humble tips go unnoticed, so I shared some of our tweets below. [At the time of posting this, we just noticed that Jyl had the awesome idea of sharing wonderful tips shared from that night in this comprehensive post here.]
*Tip: If we have a link in the tweet, just click the image because it’s linked to that site.

Q1: the reaction of testing sugar, warm H20 & yeast is fun http://bit.ly/bYeJdU TipL not boiling hot H20, warm tap
3. Websites to help kids enjoy learning Math and Science:

4. What do your kids want to be? What did you want to be when you were growing up?
5. Thoughts about how STEM classes are taught in school Then and Now:
6. Was there a stigma for girls entering STEM when you were growing up?
Remember, we only have 3 girls; so if there’s definitely no stigma in our house 
May God have mercy on Mommy’s soul–we miss you
We’d love to try all your wonderful STEM tips! Please share them below.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your support for STEM.
If parents took out the notion that everything must be taught within a specific “subject”, families would enjoy exploring life more–without baring the stress of “what do I do with XYZ, s/he hates STEM!?”.
STEM surrounds our every day lives. So, it’s our responsibility as “teaching” parents to connect the dots and make the association of these ‘subject’with everything we do. In doing so, these ‘subjects’ will be more approachable, doable, acceptable & all-around interesting.
