Description
This is a kid-favorite STEM Challenge all about Valentine’s Day! That is already exciting enough, but this one also features a zip line! This challenge is not just for Valentine’s Day! I included teacher directions, a lab sheet, and photos to adapt this for Christmas time!
This challenge can be purchased as part of money-saving bundles!
What is the challenge?
In this challenge, students will use materials to make a carrier for a Valentine’s Day gift. The carrier will have to fly down a zip line holding the gift that is being delivered. The zip line as a delivery method is just part of the fantastic gift! Students have to build the gift carrier, a way to attach the carrier to the zip line, and decorate it to be given as a gift. In the end, each group will share its gift box and demonstrate how it flies down the zip line to be delivered in a most unique way.
NOTE: This challenge is labeled as a challenge for Valentine's Day. However, you can use this at any time of the year. Just have students deliver a different object as a gift. IDEAS: Mother's Day. Father's Day, Halloween, or Christmas. Use the editable form to change the constraints and requirements and the possibilities are endless!
What is your prep?
You will need supplies in addition to this package. This includes copy paper, cardstock, construction paper, masking tape, straws, craft sticks, binder clips, paper clips, string, fishing line, and an item to use as the gift being delivered on the zip line.
