Description
Engineer a Pumpkin House
A Pumpkin STEM Activity!
An October and November Challenge for your Class!
Your students have won a truckload of pumpkins. What to do with all that squash? Let’s build a pumpkin playhouse!
Using pumpkin candies or small styrofoam balls students will create a prototype for the structure. Students will use their critical thinking and cooperative strategies as well as apply structural and material engineering and measurement skills.
Included in the packet are student pages, teacher notes, role cards, a rubric, a reflection page, engineering design process poster and inquiry questions.
Do you read “Balloons Over Broadway” with your students? We have a STEM packet to support this fantastic book about the Macy Parade
