Description
Winter STEM Engineering Challenges - The children need a sled! The snowman is melting and needs a shade! The groundhog needs a burrow! The Eskimo needs a shelter from the cold! Your students will turn on their creative minds to solve these winter problems while learning some facts, using math and engineering skills, and having fun along the way! These STEM activities will help you and your students beat the winter blues. Each of these STEM challenges meet several NGSS standards. They are perfect to use in a STEM lab, in science centers, as cooperative learning groups, or as individual projects.
