    Description

    Are you ready for a STEM Challenge with super easy materials that all also really full of learning and fun? How about the main supply being straws? This bundle of three challenges is a money-saver and has some of our very favorite building tasks.

    Please note: This package contains three challenges. Each may be purchased separately. Just click on the titles!

    What are the challenges?

    Straw Hoop Flyers

    • Students will be challenged to consider which variables to include in the final ultimate hoop flyer.
    • Will they choose everything or only the best possibilities?
    • After testing as many variations of the original plane as time allows students use their recorded data to make decisions on a design.
    • They will have a chance to improve the model they eventually build and learn from their mistakes!

    Bucket Towers

    • Students will find a way to use the straws to hold the bucket aloft and then test it with weight.
    • As it gets heavier and heavier they will make on-the-spot adjustments as they see weak points of the tower buckle or collapse.
    • You can opt to add a requirement that their design must include a functional reason for a tower having a bucket.

    Geodesic Domes

    • Students will be challenged to find a way to use the two materials to make a three-dimensional shape that will piece together and keep its shape.
    • This is challenging since the side panels need to be made with shapes that have sides of the same length.
    • Students will also need to decide if their structure will be a dome or a sphere.

    This set is a combination of three STEM Challenges. If you prefer they may be purchased separately:
