What educators are saying

My students loved this!! They were truly engaged and excited to learn more. So much fun and rewarding for me as well. I loved watching the many different ways they came up with a solution.
I used this at the end of the year to keep my students engaged. It worked - they loved them and look forward to what was the next one...

    Description

    Are you looking for easy prep STEM? You have found the perfect bundle- 3 towers to try. Your students will love building the biggest, tallest, and most creative towers and you will love the simple supplies. How tall will your towers be?

    Please note: This package contains three challenges. Each may be purchased separately.

    The three challenges each features building a tower. Please check the previews of each.

    In Build a Tower with Spaghetti students will have spaghetti, tape, string, and one large marshmallow. The challenge is to build the highest tower possible using only those supplies. They must use the materials wisely! The resource includes pages for using this at Christmas time as a Bell Tower. This challenge also includes a version that uses a blueprint and scoring rubrics have been added.

    In Build a Tower with Toothpicks students have two supplies- toothpicks and modeling dough. Again, they build the highest possible tower, using only the given supplies and a lot of creativity. It’s a super task! This challenge now includes a version that uses marshmallows and blueprints with new teacher directions, hints, photos, lab sheets, and scoring rubrics.

    In Build a Tower with Index Cards students have a supply of index cards and some masking tape! That’s it! How high can you build a tower with only those supplies? The thinking and variety of solutions to this task will amaze you! The resource includes pages for using at Christmas time as a Santa Tower!

    What is your prep?

    You will need to gather the materials as each challenge is used and provide lab sheets for students.

    For each challenge you will receive:

    • a lesson guide that provides a materials list and then step-by-step procedures to follow to make this a great experience
    • pages of Helpful Hints that give ideas of specific things to think about while using this challenge
    • two versions of lab sheets;
    • sample student answers for lab sheets
    • 1-2 pages of photos to help in your use of the challenges
    • pages of Extensions that will give you ideas of continuing the activity as a whole class or in your science/math centers.
    • rubrics and editable forms

    This set is a combination of three STEM challenges. If you prefer the packages may be purchased separately.
