So our blog will feature a fun challenge each week for you to try and share, but there are several that extend for the whole summer. Lokie has kicked off the STEAM challenge with his very cool contraption. Who’s next? We can’t wait to see what you are designing!
STEAM Challenge
Our Chain Reaction Machines
The Chain Reaction Machine challenge was one of our favorite projects this year, and oh, did they ever delight and surprise us!
Better Late Than Never: Balloons Over Broadway Engineering
Energizing Everything Extra Credit Challenge
Here is the extra credit challenge for you:
Plus the most amazing domino video with 32,000 dominoes!
Take Apart Adventure
Our Valentine’s Day
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” (I Chronicles 16:34)
Physics STEM Challenges
Christmas Tree Engineering
Physics–Sound Wave Watchers
The culminating project in our sound chapter was for the students to figure out a way to SEE sound.
Take a look at their Sound Wave Watchers on the student blog links for some zinging, water droplet jumping fun!
Scribblebot Sneak Preview
We kicked off the year with an intriguing engineering challenge. Can you make a motor run? Can you cause it to jiggle instead of running smoothly? Can you get a scribblebot to balance on its marker legs while it moves? Can you make a change in your bot design to cause your bot to draw a completely different pattern? Can you use the Engineering Design Process? How about your perseverance? Are you able to keep trying to solve a problem even when you feel a bit frustrated? WE CAN!
