Inhoudsopgave
Hoe werkt stoom?
Zijn machine werkt zo: stoom uit de ketel duwt de zuiger omhoog zodat er beweging ontstaat. Als de zuiger op zijn hoogste punt is spuit er een klein straaltje water in de cilinder. Hierdoor verandert de stoom weer in water, en ontstaat er onderdruk. Die onderdruk zorgt ervoor dat de zuiger weer naar beneden zakt.
Wat doet een stoommachine?
Een stoommachine is een motor (of in bredere zin een machine), die door middel van onder druk staande stoom (vaak als gevolg van verhitting door verbranding van steenkool) mechanische arbeid levert.

What is STEM education and why is it important?
STEM education is important throughout a student’s life, as it teaches them that these subjects have value of their own, for both boys and girls. Including these subjects, which were previously thought of as boring or targeted primarily towards male students, allows everyone access to them.
What are STEM students need to know?
Critical Thinking. Being successful in STEM not only depends on the ability to think critically but also to apply concepts to solve a problem.
Why do we need STEM education?
STEM education is meant to reverse these sentiments, and that reversal is needed as students grow up and enter the workforce. The simple truth is this: we need people who will take over the careers in STEM fields when older generations retire.
