Leprechaun Trap STEM Activity St. Patrick's Day Family Project Engineering Fun
Design a Leprechaun Trap and catch the leprechaun for St. Patrick's Day! Students will use the planning sheet to follow the engineering design process, pick bait to trap the leprechaun, and create a simple (or complicated!) trap while exploring force and motion. This project can be done in small groups (pairs works well) or you may send this home as family project. 🍀 What You'll Get 🍀 Teacher instructions and guided lesson planDifferentiated recording page options that guide students through

Operation Egg Drop
Who doesn't love a great Egg Drop project? This is such a fun project. Students get to use both creative and critical thinking during this challenge. Students are challenged to invent and engineer a device that will prevent an egg from breaking when dropped from the height of a second story on a building. I have local firemen come in and drop our devices on the final day of the project. They continue to raise the height for those that don't break on round 1. Students have to think about a desig
