STEMsational activities

Students engineer a race car and track.Using some creativity and some magnets, students race a car around a paper plate track. A great activity for STEM lessons and cooperative learning. Materials: • Large paper plate • 2 round magnets • Popsicle stick • White cardstock • Scissors, markers

This STEM activity is aligned to meet the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Students interact and engage with one another while exploring how pushing objects of different materials can produce different results. Students also explore engineering a domino track. **Materials: Marble Set of dominoes A few different match box cars

Get your students thinking like engineers as they get to design a bridge out of legos. This challenge takes them through the basic engineer design process. **Be sure to check out the Kindergarten STEM Journal Bundle****

Do your Kindergartners love to build? Turn it into a meaningful journal that your students can use all year. This 20 page journal includes 8 STEM activities using simple materials to get your students thinking like engineers. You can even make copies of the design plan to use with just about any STEM activity. They'll love planning and testing these challenges!

Get your students thinking like engineers as they get to create a structure out of Popsicle sticks. This challenge takes them through the basic engineering design process. **Be sure to check out the Kindergarten STEM Journal Bundle****
