Learning isn’t just about reading! For K-5 kids, multimedia-based learning can make STEM fun & engaging.Use Visuals (videos, animations) - Audio (songs, podcasts) - Hands-on (interactive games, AR/VR)
Mix & match for better retention & excitement! #STEM #EdTech #TinkerPlayground

Did you know that fingers wrinkling in water is actually an active response controlled by the nervous system rather than just the skin absorbing water? Studies suggest that this wrinkling improves grip on wet objects, similar to how tire treads help with traction on wet roads.
