More STEM challenges

Here are some of our most recent STEM challenges.

Task 1: Build the tallest tower possible using just spaghetti and marshmallows.

Task 2: Build a bridge that is both wide enough and strong enough for a toy car to travel on.

STEM in 2nd Class- parachutes, catapults, greenhouses and glasses.

We have been doing lots of STEM activities in 2nd Class. First we plan our project in pairs or groups and then we work together to build it. We test our creations together at the end. We really enjoy STEM, we love picking projects that interest us and predicting the results. 

We made parachutes and tested which material made the best parachute, then we tested which size parachute worked best.

Testing our creations

The best parachute

We built catapults and tested how far they could shoot a table tennis ball.

Planning our catapults

We built greenhouses and also made glasses as we were learning about light in our science classes.
