Add more holiday cheer to your STEM lessons and STEAM activities for holidays with 50 more holiday-themed projects for seven major holidays and events:
*Christmas *Easter *Halloween *St. Patrick's Day *Thanksgiving *Valentine's Day *Patriotic Holidays
Make sure you get the 1st book (50 Holiday STEM Labs) to collect all 100 Holiday-Themed projects!
Each challenge has a snappy mission title, a brief description of the task required, the rules for the mission, suggested materials lists, and optional graded assignment ideas. These are very adjustable for your classroom, home, camp, science lab, or homeschooling needs. With minor tweaks, these projects could easily be used from grades K to 12!
Each project is a critical thinking challenge and experiment. Students will have to figure out how to defeat each task. Children will learn by planning, designing, testing, and measuring. Then, they will have to reflect upon their work. Often, students will have to go back and redesign their projects to make them work better. It is highly recommended that students keep journals, blogs, or video reports of their projects!
Challenge projects are tagged with categories so you can search for other similar labs. Types of labs included are: paper airplanes, bridge building, roller coasters, weight lifting projects, tower construction, cars, strength tests, crash tests, and many, many more!
