In this activity, students will read the story “In a Garden” by Tim McCanna. They will learn about the life cycle of a plant, what seeds need to grow, and what keeps seeds from growing. They will then create their own seed house and watch their seeds sprout!
In this design challenge, students will work together to design a tool or process that successfully removes an invasive species from an ecosystem while minimizing harm to the native species and environment.
In this challenge, students will practice problem-solving and collaboration skills as they design, build, and test their wind turbine
prototypes. Students will explore the role of renewable energy in powering communities, learn about energy transfer and mechanical systems, and gain insight into the importance of sustainable energy solutions.
In this design challenge, students will receive a problem from the story Who Sank the Boat? by Pamela Allen. Students will engage in a STEM challenge to build a boat in 25 minutes that can float while holding the animal figures for a set amount of time without sinking.
