Twins Sydney and Simon are hoping to enter their window-box flowers in the neighborhood flower show.  A heat wave creates all sorts of problems – the window swells shut, they can’t water the flowers, and the flowers are wilting.  Using STEAM thinking (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), the twins learn how to successfully solve their problems.  They hypothesize, seek advise from others, observe, make predictions and connections, and test.  Many scientific facts and procedures are explained and creatively illustrated as these two purple mice use each category of STEAM.  A glossary of many terms in included.  This is a great resource to explain STEAM and describe the process of the scientific method.
