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

Snowball Launcher — Projectile Motion STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12, NGSS Aligned)
Title: Snowball Launcher — Projectile Motion STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12, NGSS Aligned)Description (emoji-friendly): Launch into winter physics! ❄️ Students test a paper-ball or pom-pom “snowball” launcher to explore projectile motion. Teams hold pullback constant and vary launch angle, measuring distance vs. angle to discover the peak near 45°. They graph data, justify conclusions with CER, and (optionally) estimate launch speed using the range formula. 🎯📈 NGSS Alignment: 3–5: 3-5-ET
