Lego STEM
LEGO STEM challenge that focused on creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork as they designed and tested solutions to a given problem.
Marble Run
We built marble runs to explore engineering and physics, testing how speed, angles, and design affect the marble’s path.
Balloons Over Broadway
After reading Balloons Over Broadway and watching how Macy’s Parade balloons are made, students were challenged to design and build their own balloons using birthday balloons and craft materials.
Candy Canes
After watching a video on how candy canes are made, students were challenged to design a container that would protect a candy cane from breaking when dropped.
