Welcome Song:
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Yes I am! Yes I am!
Now it’s time for Story Time,
Now it’s time for Story Time,
Yes it is! Yes it is!
At Home Experiment:
What You Will Need:
Glass Jar
Match or Hairspray
Warm water
Ice cubes
Pour warm tap water into a jar, throw in a match or
spray hairspray into the jar. Place the lid upside down
on top of the jar and place several ice cubes. Watch
your cloud form!
The science from PlaydoughtoPlato.com: “In this
demonstration you added water vapor to the jar by
using warm water. The smoke or hairspray acted as
the cloud seed. When you added the ice filled lid on
top you cooled the warm air causing it to condense on
the surface of the cloud seed particles, forming a
cloud!”

CLOUD (BINGO)
There is a mist that’s
way up high
and we call it a
CLOUD,

the cloud is in the
sky.

Why do libraries care about
STEM education?
Especially in Story Times?
STEM education is a
movement toward getting
children EXCITED about
science and technology.
Statistics have shown that
children who are
