Community Resources
These resources (STEAM resources, local resources, education, volunteer opportunities, and low income resources), are not sponsored by MCE PTA. These resources may have been used by, or have been helpful for members of the MCE community- sharing in case they may be helpful to you, or people you may know in the area, as well!!
STEAM Resources at home
- NASA’s STEM @ Home for students in grades K-4! Many, if not most, of these activities can be done at home with everyday materials. Print out coloring sheets, make rockets, play a downloadable board game on climate, read storybooks and so much more!
- Resources – dailySTEM has a great list of activities you can do with your family, at home, school, or in nature! This is in English, Spanish, or Arabic. Also available are super STEM movies- watch a movie and start a conversation! Each movie on the list (Big Here 6, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Finding Dory, The Iron Giant, etc) has a list of different ideas of projects, questions to ask, and ways to use STEM ideas from the movies as we explore the world around us.
- Boston Children’s Museum goes behind the scenes for a game of I Spy (a 13 minute video on youtube). Through the video, you’ll learn about some of the objects in their 100-year-old collection. They will then show you how to create our own personalized replica of one of these historic objects at home!
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has several short games and simulations for tornados, hurricanes, precipitation, elements of a rainbow, and lightning. These are fun ways to understand different weather phenomenon!
