STEM Challenges Teamwork Bundle

Get ready for the ultimate in collaboration and easy prep! In each of these challenges, one of two tasks will be assigned to different groups with each task using the same supplies. Each group follows the rules of its own task and works with its partner group because in the end the two tasks are joined together! That's why this set of 3 challenges is called the Teamwork Bundle!

Please note: This package contains three challenges. Each may be purchased separately. Just click on the titles. This bundle is also available in a large bundle!

• STEM 6-Pack Bundle Easy Supplies 2

NOTE:

These three STEM challenges use the easiest of supplies! The twist to the challenge is that each team has the same materials, but each builds something different. Just give out the materials, talk about the scenario of each task, go over the requirements, and watch as each group works together and then joins with its partner group to combine the two structures. It is fascinating!

What are the challenges?

Bridges and Towers

• Students will be designing and creating towers or bridges using the same supplies. Each task has its own requirements.
• A bridge group will be partnered with a tower group and they must communicate as they design and build because in the end the tower will be placed on the bridge.
• Can the bridge group build a bridge with enough support for the tower? Can the tower group build a tower with a strong enough base? Can they successfully discuss their designs and make improvements so the two structures work together?

Launchers and Targets

• Students will be designing and creating either a launching device or a target using the same supplies. Each task has its own requirements.
• A launching device group will be partnered with a target group and they must communicate as they design and build.
• When both groups are finished they will try the launcher by firing at the target.
• Can the launcher group design a device that will propel the soft object at the right angle? Can the target group create a structure that will withstand being hit? Can the two groups really have a partnership and work together?

Rescue Devices

• Students will be designing and creating either a rescue cranking device or a rescue carrier using the same supplies. Each task has its own requirements.
• The rescue cranking device group will be partnered with a carrier group to combine the two structures into a rescue method to retrieve cargo from the bottom of a “cliff”.
• Can the crank team make a device that will wind up the rope (string)? Can the carrier group create a container that will not dump out the cargo? Can the two teams work together and carry out the rescue?
