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

GLITTER CLEAN-UP TOOL PROJECT BASED LEARNING Gold Medal PBL 3rd 4th 5th GATE
One of our 1st grade teachers came to talk to my class of 3rd graders. She was at wit’s end. She loves using glitter, but her kids are atrocious at clean-up. Glitter is everywhere! If she just had a tool that was fun to use for a 1st grader and effective. Of course, the tool would have to be made with common materials and easy to replicate. No teacher can afford to go around buying glitter tools … LAUNCH, and let the engaged learning begin! Your kids are going to love this gold medal pro
