Table-top Mini Golf: STEAM Engineering and Design for Elementary GATE

In From Putt-putt to Pebble Beach--Table-top Mini Golf, students will design and construct a playable table-top sized miniature golf course using the engineering design process. With these lessons, the teacher defines the problem, helps students gather background research, and specifies the requirements. The students do the rest: creating alternative solutions, choosing the best solution, doing development work, building a prototype, and testing and redesigning. The result is a classroom filled

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

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

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.
