STEAM

Students were given the challenge to transform 1 paper plate into the tallest freestanding tower! Each team was only given 1 single plate and unlimited tape. We had some pretty amazing structures- the tallest measuring over a meter high!

   Engineers learned all about the structures and functions of living things. They were asked to design a bird beak that can perform the function of retrieving  the most seeds.    Using the information they gathered from their beak investigations, students then began to plan and build their beak designs. Students are actively testing as they build and making improvements along the way!

  Engineers learned all about inherited traits and created a monster offspring that had inherited traits from both monster parents! Students created a plan of  the offspring and then thought about which materials they would need to build a model. They used their plan and worked together to build the model.   When all the monster offspring were built, students went on a Monster Museum Walk  and used the challenge criteria to evaluate their peer's models and provided helpful feedback on their classmate's offspring  designs. 

In class 2-325, students were given the challenge to build the tallest freestanding tower with limited materials. Each team was given 20 index cards and 2 feet of tape to design and build the tallest freestanding tower.
