Description
Build a Christmas Tree and a House with Legos in this amazing Christmas READ ALOUD STEM™ Challenge by Carly and Adam!
Did you know the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is donated by families each year to the city? Each year, after Christmas, that tree is turned into lumber and given the Habitat for Humanity. The Carpenter's Gift by David Rubel tells this amazing story.
In this Christmas STEM Activity, students learn about how the some objects can be assembled, disassembled, and re-assembled into new objects. They are challenged to build both a Christmas Tree and House out of the same type of materials (Legos or Building Bricks.)
The Engineering Design Process:
Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't. They follow the six step Engineering Design Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Experiment, Improve.
STREAM Literacy Integration:
This Activity is the perfect companion to The Carpenter's Gift by David Rubel.
Extension Writing Activity:
After students complete the STEM Challenge, students write about their favorite Christmas gift ever!
