Spider Parachute Halloween STEM Activity
Design a parachute to save a spider! This is a fun Halloween STEM activity that your students will love with a version for distance learning! When some spiders are born, they make parachutes out of their silk in order to safely drop from their mother’s web. They release a few strands of silk that form a triangular-shaped parachute that catches the breeze and lifts them in the air! But in our challenge today, one of the baby spiders is unable to deploy their parachute and needs your help to get d

SCUBA - or whatever floats your boat
Students will be introduced to ideas such as density, Charles's Law, Boyle's Law, and buoyancy. They will model with mathematics, using linear equations, ratios and rates. The students will apply the ideas and physical properties to scuba diving and transfer the knowledge to explain why objects float in air. Ultimately, students will become "teachers" of the subject and will work together to create a model and poster session.
