STEM Activity Building Bridges

STEM Activity Building Bridges

(0)
1 lesson activity used in British Science Week with Year 7 and 8 science classes. Working together in teams, students build a bridge using straws, paper and tape; by adding a budget it encourages students to use their enterprise skills and consider which materials are most important. Monopoly money is used to allow students to control their budget and a “shop” is opened where they can purchase resources. Towards the end of the session, the shop is closed and students are then allowed to “sell” their resources to each other.

Display material to create a visual presentation on the etymology of many science words. Can be used in various ways; I print the words on green paper and create a “tree like” display on my desk. Great for referencing in a lesson.

1 lesson activity making Mobius strips. Used as part of British Science Week and also a Y6 transition lesson. Students love trying to make the heart shape at the end of the activity. Only scissiors, glue and paper strips needed so ideal for a last minute STEM activity.
