Rube Goldberg
This is a project outline/presentation to guide the students on following the engineering process to build a Rube Goldberg machine. Each day I assigned certain steps and gave the students time to spend on each step. We shared the research with the groups. Before students moved on they had to show me their design prototype to make sure they had at least 3 simple machines. You can increase the amount of simple machines or say at least 5 simple machines and some can be repeated.

TEAM CHALLENGE: Throwing Shade
The Earth's rising temperatures due to climate change are a significant challenge – especially in urban areas because surfaces such as roadways and rooftops absorb and emit heat to a greater extent than most natural surfaces. An " urban heat island" (UHI) occurs when cities experience warmer temperatures than nearby rural areas. One way to combat UHI is to increase green space by planting trees and adding parks and green roofs. In this team challenge lesson, students learn about UHI and create

Math and Literature Lesson Counting Crocodiles by Judy Sierra
This is a STEAM challenge for groups to work on after reading Counting Crocodiles. There are multiple math lessons you could do with this book, but I focused on the way the monkey used the crocodiles' bodies as a bridge. We watched a short Mystery Science video about different types of bridges. Then I split the kids into groups of three and challenged them to make a bridge using materials from the classroom. We brainstormed some possible choices. This page is for groups to plan before starting

Floating Love Boats Valentine STEM Challenge, Foil Boat Buoyancy Lab (K–3)
Cupid’s candy delivery boats are sinking, and your students are the rescue team. In Floating Love Boats, kids design aluminum foil “love boats” and test how many candy hearts they can load before the boat finally goes down. It’s hands-on, hilarious (in the best way), and sneaks in real science like buoyancy, stability, and the engineering design process without anyone realizing they’re learning. Students build, test, record results, then redesign and try again. You get instant engagement, mean
