Such a great way to get students thinking critically while also working on communication skills and team work!
Great resource! Students were highly engaged and seemed to enjoy this activity!
I've used as a complementary work within my unit! Amazing!
very useful, students loved during stem night......
During our summer camp, I introduce my third graders to fairy tales since one of our writing units includes a fractured fairy tale. The stem activities here are wonderful! Super easy and with supplies that are not terribly expensive or hard to find. I've tried a number of stem fairy tale projects on TPT and these are my favorite. Not too hard or too easy and really fun! This one was my favorite! Fun to create and easy for the kids to modify what they built. We loved it!
Thanks!
These were such great hands on activities. My students loved these!
