STEM Drag Device Parachute Challenge (Engineering Design Activity)
Drag Device STEM Parachute Activity Students use the engineering design process and explore the forces of gravity and air resistance to design a drag device to slow down a payload. This challenge uses a ping pong ball to represent a rover landing on Mars. The rover must remain inside an uncovered cup during drop and impact testing. This hands-on activity is an engaging design challenge that allows students to work in teams, apply the engineering design process, and connect math topics to real-wo

Bridge Engineering STEM Challenge - Women in STEM History Activity (Digital)
This engaging STEM challenge is a fun way to incorporate the engineering design process into your classroom or afterschool program! Students use the engineering design process and explore compression and tension forces in bridges while building their own bridge! This challenge also highlights Emily Roebling, the first woman field engineer who was instrumental in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. History, science, engineering, literature (optional), and math-- it is all included along with

Spider Parachute Halloween STEM Activity
Design a parachute to save a spider! This is a fun Halloween STEM activity that your students will love with a version for distance learning! When some spiders are born, they make parachutes out of their silk in order to safely drop from their mother’s web. They release a few strands of silk that form a triangular-shaped parachute that catches the breeze and lifts them in the air! But in our challenge today, one of the baby spiders is unable to deploy their parachute and needs your help to get d

Density Logic Puzzle
This activity is a fun way for students to practice basic density calculations (p=m/v) while building in some critical thinking skills as well. Students are provided a series of clues about 7 different colored boxes and students need to determine which of the seven provided masses, volumes, and densities is connected tot hat color box.
For example, "The density of water is 1.0 grams per cubic cm. If the orange object was placed in water, it would float."
There is a table for students to fil

STEM/NGSS: Properties of Matter Density and Its Characteristics READING
What makes density a unique property? This reading details why density is a characteristic property and why it can therefore be used to identify unknown materials.Reading includes a metacognitive strategy for reading comprehension, and is followed by two problems to solve.Includes examples of proportional reasoning to meet common core standards.Enjoy, and spread the word if you like it!

SCUBA - or whatever floats your boat
Students will be introduced to ideas such as density, Charles's Law, Boyle's Law, and buoyancy. They will model with mathematics, using linear equations, ratios and rates. The students will apply the ideas and physical properties to scuba diving and transfer the knowledge to explain why objects float in air. Ultimately, students will become "teachers" of the subject and will work together to create a model and poster session.
