STEM Flying Straw: A Science and Engineering Challenge. This science and engineering challenge will challenge students what flight looks like.The lesson begins with a technology challenge to construct a paper plane with the materials given and then leads into the science lesson. This challenge looks at speed, direction, size and types of wings. This pack contains everything you need (except straws). All you need to do is print it off and you are up and running. It can be used as either a group activity or individual. I usually do it as a group as then you can allocate members various roles within the group. Included are instructions, templates and extension question sheet. As a bonus I have also include an A4 STEM Poster. Enjoy

STEM Paperclip Boat: A Science and Engineering Challenge. This science and engineering challenge will challenge students about water tension. Students will conduct science experiments to introduce themselves to the concept of water tension and how heavy objects can be made to look like they are floating.. Recording sheets are provided for students to write their observations and conclusions on. For the advanced students extension questions are provided to extend their knowledge. Also included is a technology challenge. This pack contains everything you need (except paperclips). All you need to do is print it off and you are up and running. It can be used as either a group activity or individual. I usually do it as a group as then you can allocate members various roles within the group.
