STEM Engineering for Elementary GATE - Wind Power, Windmills, and Wind

Two challenging but age-appropriate engineering projects highlight this unit. If you’ve taught my other STEM units, however, you know they’re not simply building projects. We’re thinking, learning science concepts, developing explanations, applying math and non-fiction reading skills, and bringing a wide variety of areas into a unit. But let’s not take lightly how cool it is to build and experiment with a cool mini glider and a working windmill! As usual, we have ready-to-print activity shee

STEAM Kid Engineering for GATE -- Falling Cats

*This the STEM ONLY portion of the “Cats, Cats, Cats Across the Curriculum for GATE” lesson collection available in my store. Shouldn’t your 21st Century classroom be just like today’s virtual world? In other words, shouldn’t it be full of cats?! In this two lesson bundle you get instructions and photos, sample student work, ready-to-print activity sheets, Common Core and Next Generation Science references, and everything you need except the actual cats (you’ll be making your own!). I’ve use

Desktop Zip Lines -- GATE STEM for Upper Elementary

Students not only study physical science, they design with it, build with it, they write about it, calculate with it, and they live it. It’s the engineering process in miniature as our engineering teams design and then build desktop ziplines from scratch. Students will draft plans, build zipline towers, choose the best zippy materials, and assemble their ziplines. Hey, it’s incredible fun . . . but it’s not just fun and games here! Students will use their ziplines to collaborate on a physica

STEM Kid Engineering and Construction -- Hoop and Launcher Game GATE

Kid-built in a few hours . . . this 7 inch tall basketball hoop can be assembled and re-assembled. We’re not going to toss a ball to make baskets with this project. Oh, no . . . we are making a little catapult to launch marshmallows at the hoop! Oh, yes! Sweet! Use this building project as a challenging independent study for upper elementary, as a whole-class engineering project, or use it to make math and science applications like percentages, measurements and geometry, action/reaction, tr
