SURVIVOR Challenge SPY Training STEM STEAM for GATE 4th to 8th Grades

Created by

Talking about too fun for school! I had 4th and 5th graders skipping recess for this one! Let’s combine an engineering challenge, physics background, creativity and engineering, and three dimensional building skills to create a Survivor-type challenge and training for professional spies. Here we have the engineering process--complete and in miniature! Note: This activity is a part of our bigger Spies unit. Watch for the unit to be published this spring. It is going to be recess-skipping co

Float your Own Boat Displacement Lab

Created by

3D-PT

This is a tested and established classic lab activity. Students will explore density, volume and mass with this lab. Build your own boat with tin foil, or expand by 3D printing a final design in TinkerCAD!Your class will have fun working in pairs to make a boat out of tin foil that floats as many marbles as possible. They will then explore buoyancy, density, mass and volume as they complete the lab. This includes calculation problems for volume and density.EASEL ACTIVITY: You can now assign thi

AIR CAR ENGINEERING CHALLENGE Blended or Independent Learning STEAM GATE

Created by

Portable Gifted and Talented

Can your students build a car propelled only by a blower/vac—using only the materials provided--that will travel 8 feet in the fastest time possible? This project takes grit, creativity, and kid engineering skills. Do your kids have it in them? But wait! We’re not just handing students the tools and materials to meet this engineering challenge. Students have to show they have the background, the grit, the resilience, the training, and the motivation to complete a series of 5 standards-bas

Angles of Reflection Bulls-eye Activity

Created by

SmartySummerCamp

In this activity, students are challenged with reflecting a laser light off of a mirror and hitting a target. In order to do this, students must construct a model of how the laser will travel, calculating the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection, using the plane of the mirror's surface and the normal line that is perpendicular to the plane of the mirror. This activity that can be adapted to be used in any physical science class on waves, rays, and reflection or in a math class on angle
