Description
Looking for a way to combine history and engineering? Well look no further! This MLK STEM Challenges asks learners to build a monument to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Google Slides take you and your learners through the lesson and includes a video of who Dr. King is, timer for the challenge, materials list, etc. It also defines and shows other famous monuments. Materials are basic supplies and can be changed based on what you have available.
You can also add in a math component by measuring your monument at the end!
Be sure to get the free STEM Notebook paper from my shop to go along with this lesson, as well as the Martin Luther King profile pictures to place at the top of your monument!
