Description
STEM challenge: build a flashlight. Students will love engineering their own flashlights out of a craft stick! Students will use their knowledge of circuit electricity and insulative and conductive materials to engineer a small flashlight. Students will identify the criteria and constraints and use design thinking to build a flashlight. ✅
This STEM Activity includes:
- Step by Step Directions with photos
- Reading passage on circuit electricity
- Follow-up pages
- CER Form
Great Reviews!

I work with students with emotional and behavioral disabilities and the more interactive I can make a lesson, the more successful it will be. Thanks so much for your hard work!
Students will use their knowledge of circuit electricity, insulative and conductive materials to build a small flashlight.
You will need simple materials:
- Craft sticks
- Copper tape or foil
- LED lights
- Coin batteries
- Metal binder clips
This resource meets the following standards:
3-5-ETS1-1. Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost
NGSS MS-ETS1-1 Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions
NGSS MS-ETS1-2.Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
NGSS MS-ETS1-3
Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
NGSS MS-ETS1-4
Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
