This post includes six resources that will keep your kids working together and enjoying the last few weeks of school as they complete a STEM challenge or two and maybe an end of the year memory flip book. The challenges are kid favorites, easy to prepare, and one of them is a free resource! The little Flipper booklet is fun to complete and will have students looking back on their great year! https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Slide1-35-647x1024.jpg STEM Foosball! This challenge will have students building a foosball model that has two teams trying to kick a ball or marble. Students create the foosball players, design the format of the players, and add details to make the set fun. Grab a FREEBIE STEM challenge on this blog post that will get you set up to try this in your classroom. The resource includes teacher directions, lab sheets, and a rubric. Forms are editable! Let the competitions begin! https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/bubble-wand-647x1024.jpg All about bubbles! Bubbles, Bubbles, Everywhere! Kids love bubbles! This STEM Challenge has elements of fun, but also a great design and building challenge. After exploring with bubbles students will design and test their own bubble wands! This STEM Challenge will have your students exploring with a bubble solution. Then the design challenge takes the fun one step further as students create a way to make the largest or most unusual bubbles they can using the bubble wand they design and build. https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/solar-ovens-647x1024.jpg STEM Challenges for elementary students! Students will experiment with heat-resistant materials and then use their test results to design the best oven possible. This is so exciting as they troop outside to test the materials, record the temperatures of the ovens, & choose the materials to design the best oven. Finally, they put together a chocolate treat and use the sun to help cook the item. This STEM resource includes detailed teacher directions, photos, lab sheets, and rubrics. https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/fixed-5-647x1024.jpg In this STEM challenge, students will be using materials to plan design a working water slide that will take a toy figure down the slide- without leaking water. The main materials for the slide part are not waterproof so students plan ahead for ways to line their slide so it won’t leak. The slide must also resemble a slide and have an access point- like a ladder. Students will use the steps of the Engineering Design Process as you follow the pages of detailed & labeled teacher directions pages. https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Slide3-33-647x1024.jpg In this challenge, students will be using craft sticks and glue to make a spinning Ferris Wheel. The wheel has two sides and students must be diligent in making the sides match. Also, the two sides must be joined together with a central turning rod or axle. Add making a frame to hold the wheel aloft and you have a truly spectacular STEM challenge. Students will use the steps of the Engineering Design Process as you follow the pages of detailed and labeled teacher directions pages. https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Slide2-31-647x1024.jpg https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Slide3-34-647x1024.jpg https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=carol0a7-20&language=en_US&l=li3&o=1&a=0062651730 https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=carol0a7-20&language=en_US&l=li3&o=1&a=0547199457 https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=carol0a7-20&language=en_US&l=li3&o=1&a=1454946865 https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=carol0a7-20&language=en_US&l=li3&o=1&a=0763619612 https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=carol0a7-20&language=en_US&l=li3&o=1&a=1568462891 https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=carol0a7-20&language=en_US&l=li3&o=1&a=1554537045 https://teachersareterrific.com/2018/04/how-to-really-see-seed-dispersal.html 2020-11-12T01:04:24+00:00 0.8 yearly https://teachersareterrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/seeds-2018.jpg Hands-on STEM with seed dispersal- this post features seed dispersal ideas and problems we encountered with our projects.
