A Pulley System STEM STEAM
I have the particulars rather specific as I tell the kids that the information all included and they need to be able to justify why they made their item as they have. The pulley system can also be made with cardboard pulleys as well but time is always a factor. This project is a STEM or STEAM project. It is very hands on and creativity is encouraged. This gives the students an opportunity to think outside the box while being practical and creative.
