Description
Included in this bundle are 3 fun & engaging STEM activities that are themed around the Spring season. Each activity follows the Engineering Design process where students are introduced to a problem and are asked to create a possible solution.
Don't like the cost of buying STEM supplies? Do you find your students to be wasteful with materials at times? These activities promote resourcefulness and critical thinking by asking students to consider: budgets and material limits. Not only is this realistic in the engineering process but my students love the extra challenge!
I use these activities in grades 6-8 but these activities are EASILY adaptable to younger or older students. All components are editable.
This is how I work these challenges into my classroom:
March: Pot of Gold Challenge - Students work to build a straw tower that can hold a pot of gold.
April: Easter Egg Drop- Build a structure that can protect eggs when they are dropped from a tall height!
May: National Space Day (May 6th) - Teams design and build paper spaceships that will travel the farthest in the galaxy.
Each activity includes a Google Folder with:
-Editable student handouts
-Editable Teacher slides to guide activity
-Teacher Directions
