Help Snowmen at Work by creating a new snow shovel!

Integrate STEM and Literacy in your classroom with this engaging Winter Companion Activity to Snowmen at Work by Caralyn Buehner. Students create new snow shovel for the snowmen at work and shovel their own artificial snow made from conditioner and baking soda.

The Snowmen at Work STEM Challenge is a fun and unique way to engage your students during the long winter months. Amazing winter resource for STEM club, STEM Teachers, and elementary teachers who want to create a hands-on educational environment in their classroom!

The Engineering Design Process:

In this STEM Challenge, students design and build a trap to catch a snowman. They follow the six step Engineering Design Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Experiment, Improve. 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.
