Like countless other Americans the Macys Thanksgiving Parade will be on the tv in my house this coming Thursday early morning. Just like in 2015 Macys is supplying some.
hands-on STEAM lessons connected to the parade..

Parade 101 features four video presentations of hands-on activities that students can do at house with their parents or in your classroom. The 4 activities consist of pumping up balloons through the use of baking soda and vinegar, creating balloons for the parade, making and utilizing sculping dough, and structure model floats. All of the videos consist of lists of needed materials..
I like all four of the activities. If I was to advise one for Thanksgiving day it would be constructing model drifts or designing since they can be made with cardboard, paper, glue, markers, and other common family products that dont make a mess and do not need to be done in a kitchen area. That said, I believe the a lot of enjoyable one is the pumping up balloons activity..
In addition to the videos and STEAM tasks Parade 101 offers some printable coloring sheets and puzzles. An interactive timeline of the history of the parade is still readily available to consider as well..
Finally, if you are looking for some history of the Macys Thanksgiving Parade videos, have a look at the following videos that Ive shared in the past..
