Get started with STEM at the Beginning of the School Year!
STEM Challenges are perfect to use in makerspace, library, STEM Club, and 1st Grade through 5th Grade classrooms at the beginning of the school year as students are learning how to work in groups.
In this STEM Activity, students build teamwork and problem solving skills as they work together to build their tallest tower out of straws!
The STEM Process:
Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't. This STEM Project aligns with NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards).
Amazing resource for STEM club, STEM teachers, elementary librarians, parents who love hands-on learning, and elementary teachers who want to create a hands-on educational environment in their classroom!
