Family Take-home Activity A take-home that can be sent with patrons that wish to do STEM activities at home. These at-home activities cover similar topic areas as the associated activity and could be handed out at the conclusion of a program or left on a circulation desk for patrons to take home. -
Solar Heated Water
Patrons design and build a solar hot water heater and see how big a temperature change they can get; they then evaluate and redesign their heater to see if they can increase the temperature. 0
