In this design challenge, students will read the storybook Magnets Push, Magnets Pull to learn about how magnets work. The students will receive the following problem; “Jose loves to entertain his community by designing hay mazes every year. He needs some help this year in thinking of a new maze design. Today, you will be putting on your engineering hat to build a maze!” Students will engage in a STEM challenge to design a solvable maze with one entrance and exit that utilizes only a magnet to solve.
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 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!
