End of Year - Science of Water Slides - STEM Challenge & Unit - Teambuilding
Are you ready for some fun?! I love finding the wonder of science concepts in everyday activities that are exciting for students to explore. My “Science of” series does just that. In this edition, students explore the science of water slides. This activity could last a few days or could be expanded on as the core phenomena of an entire unit. Imagine “sliding into summer” with a content-rich activity like this… or perhaps this could be a exciting way for students to “dive into a new school year!”
