STEAM Lab Packet:
The science of Fermilab begins with wanting to know more! How we learn about our world starts with our investigation of how things work and why. That is science! In this fun packet, you will use every-day items to do cool science activities.
Thank you to our library partners Aurora Public Library (Santori), Batavia Public Library, Gail Borden Public Library (Elgin), Glen Ellyn Public Library, and West Chicago Public Library for helping with packet distribution!
