Candy Cane Cantilever — Holiday Structures & Torque STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12,

Created by

Engineer a festive cantilever that reaches the farthest overhang beyond the table edge—using only candy canes and limited tape! Students plan, build, test, and iterate while applying torque and center of mass ideas. Perfect for a high-engagement holiday lab, stations, or a one-period challenge. 🍬🧰 What students do 🧠 Plan & sketch: identify anchor vs. arm, place joints/tape, predict max overhang. 🧪 Test & measure: record trials, overhang (cm), stability (10 s), failure modes. 📈 Analyze

This low-prep Quadrilaterals Project makes the perfect hands-on culminating activity for any quadrilaterals unit! In this Common Core aligned math craft, students will create 'qastles' from quadrilateral shapes: rectangles, squares, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, and kites. They'll practice identifying and classifying the different types of quadrilaterals — making it a fantastic project-based learning activity for any 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade geometry class. This geometry craft includes 1
