STEM in my world

My life

This is my laptop. This is an example of STEM because it is technology. It is technology because it holds all my documents and pictures, has apps, lets me stream anything I want. I use this everyday and I bought it when I first started college. I took this picture in the bedroom of my apartment.

Things are starting to heat up

This is the oven at Zeta Tau Alpha. Mike was making lunch when I walked by so I figured it would be a good example. This is STEM because of all the electricity and engineering that went into building it.

Is it getting hot in here or?

This is the water boiler in a closet in my apartment. I haven't lived in this apartment very long, so I don't know a whole ton about it, but this helps to heat and cool my apartment. This is STEM because of the electricity that has to go into it.

Stuck together

This is a sticky note on a desk in the library. I went to go write myself a note while I was at the library. This is an example of STEM because of the adhesive on the back.

Cookie time! :)

This is the baking ingredients we used to make cookies in the kitchen of my apartment. We literally bought all of these ingredients to make these cookies. This is an example of STEM because you have to calculate the amount of ingredients you need for a certain amount of cookies you need.

Bedtime ritual

This is my toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom of my apartment. I took this photo right before I went to bed. This is an example of STEM because of the science that makes your toothpaste bubble when you use it.

Science experiment

This is a paper plate from a science experiment I did with my two-year-old's at my other practicum. I took this photo the day of for my portfolio. This is an example of STEM because of the baking soda and vinegar reaction that happened.

My favorite aisle

This is the cookie aisle in Walmart. I took this photo to compare different prices of different things. This is an example of STEM because comparing prices involves the math to figure out the cheaper price.
