Description
A unique and engaging St. Patrick's Day STEM activity! Get ready for a STEM adventure with Larry the leprechaun. Students will decide which challenges Larry should try to earn gold coins on his favorite day of the year. Based on their choices, they will encounter different STEM challenges.
Materials Needed: In addition to "gold coins" (party favor coins work well but you can also use pennies or play money), you can use any materials you have, but I recommend index cards, tape, string, paper and rubber bands. Optional but nice-to have materials are pipe cleaners, building bricks, and various recyclables.
What You'll Get
