Students will love creating a table, or other device to hold up the witch's cauldron. Add weight to the cauldron to make more of a challenge and test their structure.

Materials - to add extra fun purchase cauldrons. I found mine at The Dollar Tree, Target & Amazon.

  • Printable & digital versions
  • Task cards - in small size (4 on one page) for individual use and large size (8x11) for team use
  • Design process poster (8x11)

  • Includes task cards, response sheets, timer
  • Students can type on the response sheets about what they did or add photos

  • Use it to display & model on your board at school too! I display the slides to start the lesson and show the timer on the board during building.

How I use this activity in my classroom:

I teach 360 students each week in grades K through 4th, so I created these activities to be able to easily set up, use reusable materials, and need low copying! I can adjust response sheets and challenges to meet each grade level. I need something quick and easy for me, yet engaging and challenging for my students! I hope your students enjoy these as much as mine do! :)
