St. Patrick’s Day STEM Project Ideas

February 21, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

One fun thing about STEM projects is that there are a lot of basic ideas that you can twist into a holiday theme without a lot of effort, which makes the same kind of project you might have done before fun all over again.

For example, baking soda and vinegar fizzing explosions are fun any time of year. Add a St. Patrick’s twist by making your ingredients different colors, so that when they combine you’ll also get green fizz. Find out all the details (plus a rainbow experiment) at The Science Penguin.

Or give the fun of growing crystals a twist by growing them on shamrock shapes, like in this activity from Fun with Mama.

Make a density jar into a rainbow with ingredients you probably already have in the house. This post from Playdough to Plato will show you how. And if you’ve never made one before this post has some good tips on how to keep your layers separate.

Speaking of things you already have in the house (maybe not a shamrock cookie cutter, but those are pretty easy to come by this time of year) you can do a quick experiment with shamrock milk and have a fun lesson about surface tension. Get all the details from Science Kiddo.

I love this idea to make a rainbow bridge out of whatever rainbow colored materials you might have lying around (pipe cleaners, construction paper, craft sticks, etc.). The blog post from STEAM Powered Family has a great explanation of different kinds of bridges and how they work if you need a quick lesson before you build.

If you have a favorite STEM activity you like to do at other times of the year, why not try to give it a St. Patrick’s Day twist by adding green, rainbows, shamrocks or other signs of the season? If you try it I’d love to hear what you come up with!
