10. Taking Science outside the classroom confines
Working in the garden helps children to
touch, feel, observe the processes of
growth, and experience the mystery and
wonder of life
Gardening is a natural way to
participate in hands on earthy activities.
12. Cooking classes – Tasty Opportunities for STEM Learning
our cooking classes are learning ground not
only for food and health but also for
language learning, mathematics, science

Names and recipes in different languages,
measuring things, chemistry of cooking,
food habits in different parts of the
world...these become joyful themes and
activities.
