Motion and Flight STEM Challenges for Kids – Bundle

Motion and Flight STEM Challenges
A hands‑on STEM bundle for early primary learners. This set includes six engaging activities exploring force, motion, and flight concepts using easy‑to‑find materials. Students observe, test, and measure how objects move, fall, and travel. Each activity follows a clean, kid‑friendly layout designed for real classrooms.

ACTIVITIES INCLUDED:
• Push & Pull Force
• Car Push Distance
• Slide & Stop
• Ball Drop Speed
• Bounce Height Investigation
• Paper Glider Design

WHAT’S INCLUDED:
• Six 3‑page STEM Activity sets (Cover, Instructions, Activity Page)
• Clear activity pages supporting both observation and simple design-based challenges
• Clear, consistent directions
• Printable PDFs (A4/Letter compatible)

MATERIALS NEEDED (BY ACTIVITY):
Push & Pull Force: Toy car, string, ruler or measuring tape, small objects
Car Push Distance: Toy car, ruler/measuring tape, chart paper or tape for marking distance
Slide & Stop: Toy car, ruler/measuring tape, different surfaces (cardboard, carpet, tile)
Ball Drop Speed: Ball, stopwatch/timer, measuring tool, wall or flat surface to mark drop height
Bounce Height: Ball, measuring tool, wall/chart paper for marking heights
Paper Glider Design: Paper, scissors, tape, ruler (optional), open space

TEACHER BENEFITS:
• Low‑prep activities using simple materials
• Consistent layout across all six activities
• Supports independent exploration
• Works for whole‑class, small groups, or STEM centres

LEARNING CONCEPTS:
• Force and motion (push, pull, speed, direction, gravity)
• Flight and movement concepts (lift, distance, stability)
• Observing and measuring results
• Comparing outcomes and making simple predictions
• Introduction to testing and design thinking

HOW IT WORKS:
Students observe, test, and compare results across activities. Students observe, test, and compare results as they explore how objects move and respond to different forces.

PRINTING & PREP:
• Print pages single‑sided
• Provide simple classroom materials
• Set up a clear testing space
• Adult supervision required for motion and testing activities

AGE RANGE:
Ages 5–11 (Primary)
Aligned for KS1 learners, with natural extension options for KS2.
Supports ESL learners with simple language, clear layout, and hands‑on tasks.

PERFECT FOR:
• STEM centres
