It's Math and STEM time! This package contains six STEM Challenges all about using math skills. Each is listed in more detail below. I hope the opportunity to purchase this money-saving bundle will help you incorporate STEM Activities into your busy schedule!
This bundle contains six challenges featuring specific math skills. These are available separately and as part of other bundles. The individual products include:
- This one-day STEM challenge will have your students thinking about volume.
- After hearing the book read (or talking about volume) students will design and construct a container for a specific amount of popcorn.
- Students will have a list of the Design “rules” and a set of supplies from which to build.
- The final design will test their understanding of volume and at the same time have them collaborating, designing, and constructing.
- In the end, each team will present its final container!
- This one-day challenge explores the meaning of volume.
- Students will examine various materials and consider how many scoops of those materials will fill a container.
- They will add scoops to containers and keep a data table of the results.
- Finally, students will discuss those results and reach a conclusion about the scoop and container- learning some valuable concepts about volume along the way!
- You may just have some 'aha' moments in your classroom.
- You can also extend this challenge by having your students design an extension of the experiment and try some new materials or different sizes of scoops.
- Students use the materials to design and build a box. They have only one piece of paper!
- The box has some requirements- a handle, a latch to keep the lid closed, and the lid must hinge.
- To test the box students will add weights.
- Due to the limited materials most of the boxes built will be of similar size and shape. This will lead to a discussion of volume and its effect on creating a container.
Cup Stacking and Finding the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range
- This ONE-DAY STEM Challenge is a GREAT introduction activity or review for finding mean, median, mode, and range.
- The activity package has 4 tasks and will have your students stacking and building with cups!
- As towers are built students will stop and count, calculate averages, determine the median, mode, and range, and have a lot of fun!
- Students will be exploring perimeter and area.
- After hearing the book read (or talking about measuring perimeter and area) students will be given a specific perimeter to use in designing a Dog Run.
- They must find all the combinations of sides in a rectangular shape that will create the dog run.
- After finding these rectangles students will also determine the area of each.
- Finally, they must choose which shape would make the best dog run for a dog and explain why.
- But, there’s more! There is also a design challenge after students choose the best size for the dog run. They will get a chance to build a 3D model of the dog run- a tiny version!
- Practice using perimeter and area
- Reading a picture book *optional (or talking about measuring perimeter and area)
- Finding a specific perimeter to use in designing polygons
- Drawing a certain number of polygons within the given perimeter and then determining the area of each
- Comparing the different shapes
- Determining which shapes have the greatest area
- Designing a dog house floor plan- with specific size rules for the area and perimeter
