You don't need snow for this project so it's perfect for the holiday season weather you are in an area with snow or not! This project kept my students busy during that crazy time before winter break and they definitely enjoyed this one. Students will create a blueprint and model of the perfect snow fort having at least 3 rooms, 3 chairs, a door, and be able to withstand "wind" (a fan) and "snowballs" (paper balls, marshmallows, whatever works best for your classroom situation).

STEM Pop-Up Book
This is the perfect project for cross-curricular objectives! I worked with the ELA teacher on this project. Students would create their stories in ELA and build their pop-up book in science class with me. The paper that was provided included computer paper, construction paper, and cardstock. Feel free to provide any other supplies to your students! Some of my students asked if they could use pipe cleaners and they used them so well! After the pop-up books were complete, we took a little field tr

STEM Catapult Project
Let's face it, students love to launch things across the classroom. Why not put this energy into a project! Students will love to see something they built themselves launch small objects, such as a pencil top eraser, across the room! This is a smaller scale catapult project, but you can upscale it using woodwork if you would like. The challenges with this project include launching a pencil top eraser 1 meter horizontally and making the catapult accurate enough to have the pencil top eraser land

STEM project rubric for self-evaluation
You can "pay" for this FREEBIE with follows, votes, and reviews. Thanks! I made this for my students to self-evaluate a STEM project that included the design, building, testing and presentation of a product. I hope you find it helpful in your own classroom when your students build:
bridges
marble runs
new products/inventions
tall free-standing structures
and other student-created projects!
Enjoy,

STEM Paper Roller Coaster
If you need a challenging project for your students this is the perfect one! The goal is to build a roller coaster out of only paper and tape. The roller coaster must carry a marble safely to the end (yes, it needs a safe ending to the roller coaster!). The ride must last at least 10 seconds as well. Students complete research, sketch designs, and build their roller coaster. They can test it as much as they need, but they only get 3 attempts to complete it for their grade. This project can take

STEM Toothpick Bridge Project
Students love this project! Students build a bridge using 100 toothpicks and hot glue/tape (you can change the amount of toothpicks if desired). Students complete research, sketch design ideas, build their bridge, and modify after testing! This project took my students about a week and a half to complete for a 50 minute class period. This gives students time to test and modify according to their needs of their project. Rubric is included!

STEM Aluminum Boat Project
If you have competitive students then this is the project for them! Students have to put their heads together to create a boat out of aluminum foil that can hold at least 20 pennies. A little competition is thrown in to see which group can build a boat to hold the most pennies in their class. I give the winning group a prize. After the project part is done there are some reflection questions that students answer (a paragraph per question). This can take anywhere from a few days to a week to comp

STEM Paper Airplane Challenge
My students thought this was the best project since they were able to make paper airplanes and actually throw them without getting into trouble! After students completed research, sketching designs, and practicing making their ideas with normal notebook paper I gave them a piece of computer paper to test with pennies. Their airplane had to carry "cargo" (5 pennies) without using tape/glue. It was amazing to see their ideas for the airplane carrying cargo using just the plane and nothing else! Th
