STEM Toy Zip Line

What is the challenge?

• This is a Quick Challenge.
• Students will build a Santa’s sleigh model that will travel down zip line without dumping the toys!

What is your prep?

Materials needed for the STEM Challenge include craft sticks, cardstock, construction paper, string or yarn, straws, pipe cleaners, paper clips, masking Tape, zip line, and TOYS! Our zip line is a piece of fishing line. You can also use plastic cord. For our toys, we used interlocking cubes.

The package specifically contains:

• Teacher Background
• 3 pages of Teacher Directions
• Set of Criteria cards for students (in 3 versions)
• Lab Sheet with answer samples
• 2 pages of photos
• Scoring rubric
• Terms of Use
• All forms are provided in an editable format!

NOTE: This challenge is versatile! I included forms labeled for ‘carriers’ and ‘cargo’ so this resource can be used any time of year! I included a simple list of alternative ways to use the challenge.
