STEM Kid Engineering -- Span the Gorge Secret Spy Adventure Challenge
In the Span the Gorge Secret Spy Adventure challenge, students launch their careers as secret spies and then solve an engineering challenge to save the day.
A vintage primary source postcard launches the mystery for our 21st Century Learners. Students will use logic interpretive skills (which include translating vintage cursive handwriting) and Internet and Computer Technology skills to “crack a code” and solve a mystery. Next, in a collaborative effort (Common Core skills in Language), stude

Crack the Code: Common Factors Encryption Worksheet | Differentiated Puzzle
Can your students break the code? In this engaging activity, students become "Code Breakers." They must find the Common Factors of specific number pairs to unlock a cipher and reveal a hidden secret message (a fun joke/riddle). BUILT-IN DIFFERENTIATION: We know every classroom has mixed abilities. This resource includes two versionsof the same puzzle: Level A (Scaffolded): Includes "Hint" columns (e.g., tells students how many factors to look for) to support struggling learners.Level B (Challe

Slide deck: SIPPS Challenge Lessons 1-10

I have created Challenge Lessons 1-10. You can edit this presentation to fit your needs. ( I am currently working on the rest of the Challenge Lessons, but due to the fact that many people are asking for lessons ASAP, I decided to release them in groups of 10.)

SPIES! A GATE Adventure 18+ Contact Hours - Challenging and Engaging!
Your students will ask to stay in from recess for this. It is the most popular unit I've taught in 32 years, and it is packed with challenging critical thinking. We imagine students are training at the school for spies: mini survivor challenges, mini crossbows, a jewel heist, footprint mysteries, memory games, cipher disks, case files, messages hidden in gel caps. This unit is STEM and critical thinking at its coolest and finest, and we’ve thrown in reading, speaking and listening, and a social

Here’s an applied engineering challenge in which—just like in the real world of engineering—a poor design means limited success or even failure.
In the Iditarod Sled Challenge, students apply their background knowledge of physical science and use logic and imagination to construct a miniature sled that will deliver “serum” to Nome, Alaska, just like Balto once did.
Use this challenge in conjunction with your study of the arctic or the Iditarod--or as a stand-alone engineering challenge for the
