STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- Pendulum Wrecking Ball and Magnetic Crane
Come on . . . who doesn’t at least occasionally want to smash stuff?! Use this as an independent project for future engineers, for a smaller STEM group--or if you have a “shop” at your disposal--as a whole class project.
I used this with 5th grade GATE. It could be extended to experienced 4th grade engineers or up through 7th and 8th grade. The math concepts will be a big stretch for the younger kids but provide a healthy discussion. They’ll be right on target for our middle schoolers.
