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.

STEAM Kid Engineering -- The Playable Golf Course Design Unit for GATE

In this unit, students will build a contraption to hit a small, wooden golf ball through a scaled version of a golf course which they and their classmates have designed. They’ll make a trundle wheel for measuring and marking the course, write down their scores on a scorecard, design putters, and learn background in physics through their work in the engineering and design process. The Playable Golf Course is not just fun. It’s a challenging engineering, design, and construction unit including

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
