Da Vinci Parachute Prototypes -- Hands-on STEM
In this lesson, students solve geometry problems and learn background physics concepts as they build a working model of Leonardo Da Vinci’s parachute. Logic, critical thinking, a bit of Renaissance history, writing and supporting conclusions with details from a source—it’s all here too!
Make this extended lesson a cross-curricular, standards-based mini-unit, or just make it a cool building activity. Pick and choose the level of commitment right for you and your students. With the suggested e

STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- FERRIS WHEELS plus Primary Sources
In this GATE engineering journey, students will each construct a very cool Ferris wheel prototype as a final product. Along the way, they will examine primary source images, read primary source history, and integrate math, engineering, and economics in a learning process which incorporates best practices in gifted and talented education for 21st Century Learners.
This is a challenging engineering project—teacher guided. I used it for GATE 4th grade; however, my kids are experienced builders.

Arctic Dogsled Racing Design Challenge - STEAM for Upper Elementary
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

STEM Activity A Bed for Winter Self-Assessment No Picture Support
Students will read DK Series: A Bed for Winter. Students will be given one of the animals listed in the book: mouse, bear, rabbit, etc. Students have to construct a bed for their animal for the winter. Students will engage in engineering and problem solving to build a sturdy bed. Students will engage in collaborative work and self- assessment. This self-assessment provides as a checklist for the students as they work together to build their beds for winter.

Kid STEAM Construction for GATE 3rd - 7th Grades BUILD A WORKING CAPSTAN
Maybe all you folks on the coast know what a capstan is, but we land-locked folks haven’t a clue. OK, so I know now . . . a capstan is an interesting combination of simple machines often used on the high seas, a fun construction project full of little building skill challenges, and a great tool for a hands-on geometry experiment.
In this lesson, we discover what a capstan is using primary source photos, build a scale-model capstan, experiment with it, and gather data to make this a true STEAM
