In this race against the clock students work as a team to build the highest tower possible out of dried spaghetti and marshmallows. The objective of this lesson is to explore structures and investigate what methods of building can make the tallest and strongest structure. By testing their prototype buildings, students will also have the opportunity to rebuild and alter their designs to improve them, giving an insight into the real-life processes of testing, redevelopment and prototyping that engineers and scientists use.

A handy resource for all teachers who are keen to get their class speaking and listening to each other. Using an Oracy framework, the handy one page document can act as a great prompt for the children. The discussion and debating structures are suggestions of how to begin to incorporate the sentence stems. Over time, the children will use the stems more naturally and follow their own path of the discussion or debate without following a set path. The Power Point can be printed out as part of a display or reduced as packs of cards that can be used by the children. Also included is a brief guide to how the cards and stems could be used over time.

Each poster prints in a 8.5x11 size standard sheet of paper. 1 Poster has the STEM acronym and kid pictures that match science, technology, engineering, and math students. There are also the 7 engineering design process words that are in a cute rhyming verse. 4 Posters include a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics topic. Each picture includes 4 words that describe each STEM job. 7 Posters include the engineering design process. Each poster lists a process and 2 or 3 questions about what the student should be thinking when they ask, imagine, plan, create, test, improve, and communicate. Check out the preview for a better look at the 12 posters. Hang these posters in your room to help students remember and think about the process as they solve problems in the classroom. I also made the clip art myself. These are original!
