On Monday we did a fun STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) Challenge that I found on Pinterest over the summer. I’m wanting the kids to learn to work together in a variety of groups to solve problems. Students were shown these instructions and given their supplies.
The kids jumped right into their teamwork, and I loved hearing their comments to each other about the challenge!! I’m posting my first and second place group from my homeroom. To place they had to place their marshmallow at the top, and their tower had to be able to stand on it’s own. I was SO impressed with my 4th graders eagerness to try this AND their ability to make it work! Great job, guys!!
** We are currently getting our school information packets back. With that and the switching of teachers in 4th, I’m not sure of what students have turned in their media release forms besides my homeroom students. As soon as I get that info, I’ll be posting all classes pictures on lab days. Thanks for understanding — I want to make sure we are all safe. Also, I never name names on my blog — and I never post pictures on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) For someone to see these pictures, they’ll have to search for my blog and/or website.
