Gustave Eiffel's Spectacular Idea Read Aloud STEM Challenge - Landmarks

Learn about different landmarks and build your own Eiffel Tower!

This Landmark STEM activity is designed to support STEM teachers, elementary classroom teachers, homeschooling parents, and after-school programs. This engineering STEM challenge is the perfect way to teach about the Eiffel Tower and other tall landmarks.

Students follow the engineering design process to construct their own landmark or their own Eiffel Tower. They also write about their landmark.

We also included landmark cards with different heights for students to explore beyond the Eiffel Tower and a timeline of the Eiffel Tower's construction.
