This STEM challenge is fantastic way to bring your class together in a fun and engaging environment. The students are required to build paper chains for as long as they can with the resources given. They need to record their results and graph them. This pack includes both engineering and statistics in it and has everything you need. Just print and go. SCIENCE: Students will use skills in the scientific method: observing, communicating, comparing, organizing, and relating. TECHNOLOGY: Students can document learning through the use of digital technology. ENGINEERING: Students will devise and implement a strategy to construct a chain link system. MATH: Students will explore measurement, graphing, statistics, patterns, and build mathematical knowledge through problem solving Enjoy

In this race against the clock students work as a team to build the highest tower possible out of dried spaghetti and marshmallows. The objective of this lesson is to explore structures and investigate what methods of building can make the tallest and strongest structure. By testing their prototype buildings, students will also have the opportunity to rebuild and alter their designs to improve them, giving an insight into the real-life processes of testing, redevelopment and prototyping that engineers and scientists use.

STEM Challenges is a fun way to incorporate science, technology and design into your classroom. This packet has four unique STEM challenges for each month of the school year. Each activity in this book includes step by step instructions, large challenge card with instructions, six page STEM mini-journal and a one page quick STEM printable. This bundle is discounted by $13.50 - three free months of STEM activities. The STEM, STEAM or Makerspace challenges are: August/September - Back to School October - Christopher Columbus Day and Halloween November - To be added December - To be added January - To be added February - To be added March - To be added April - To be added May - To be added There are two different options for your students to use to journal their STEM challenges. The first is a mini-booklet that they can make which has a half of piece of paper to work on each section of the design process. This option gives the students more room to work on the design process. The second option is a quick STEM printable you can use which saves paper, while giving students to develop their project using design methodology. Each option has its own benefits and you can use which one suits your needs. You can also attach both options into a stem notebook if you have one available for each student. These were made to be versatile to work as stand alone stem centers that require minimal supervision or a whole class activity. All artwork is original and create by myself.

These STEM challenge cards are perfect for encouraging children to explore 2D shapes and their attributes through hands-on play! They help develop design and building skills, problem solving and spatial awareness skills. Two different designs have been included - one set of 12 cards with the shape named and shown + one set of 12 cards with only the shape names and the number of toothpicks and balls of playdough provided. Just press print and grab some toothpicks and a tub of playdough and you’re ready to start building. After building each shape, children can explain their learning with our recording sheets. Three different variations are includes and ask children to draw the shape built and label the number of vertices and edges. Shapes included – square, triangle, rhombus, rectangle, trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, kite, trapezium and parallelogram. These STEM challenge cards are perfect building engineering skills! Here’s what’s included - 12 x 2D Shape STEM Challenge Cards (shape named and shown) - 2 per A4 page 12 x 2D Shape STEM Challenge Cards (only the shape names and the number of toothpicks and balls of playdough provided) - 2 per A4 page 2D Shape STEM Challenge worksheets included (3 versions) - 1 per A4 page ‘What shape can you make?’ signs for display in your centers/work stations - 2 designs - 1 per A4 page File type – Ready to print PDF IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS RESOURCE… All of our resources are downloadable digital files that you will be able to access immediately after purchase.

52 different STEM challenges and 5 activity sheets all in one document.

Pencil shape question stems that can be used by children and by staff. Great for display in classrooms and as an activity for children to complete in order to reflect on their learning.

Vocabulary is incredibly important in Maths and often children can struggle to articulate their understanding coherently. Through introducing these stem sentences, children will start to become more confident and able to explain, justify and prove their mathematical understanding. These clear and vibrant stem sentences can be easily printed off and added to your working wall/ display. There are 3 colours available for you to choose from: Red, blue and green. If you would like a different colour, leave me a message please. Thank you.

Maths STEM sentences help support all abilities in KS1 and KS2 to explain their reasoning and problem solving strategies. find more at uniqueclassrooms.com

Mud kitchen themed outfoor learning resources. Mud Kitchen not necessary Simply an outdoor space with access to some grass etc. In the current climate a lot more learning is encouraged to take place outside and this resource is adapable from nursery to KS2. I have included blank recipe sheets which can be laminated and placed outside for free flow or mastery for older children. I have also included 8 stem challenge cards for EYFS/KS1 and 10 cards for KS2. I will be using this for my year 5 inorder to give them one day a week out of the classroom. The kids will all wear aprons, hats and we will call in forrest baking day. I think kids will enjoy a break to being trapped in the classroom and staff/parents will feel safer with children getting outsider. Adaptable Outdoor Learning STEM
