Building ChallengesWaterslide Challenge:
Start by researching water slides (how they are built and what are their characteristics). Then, try to build one yourself using materials around your house (for example: aluminum foil, pool noodles, toilet paper rolls, etc). You can also fill out the planning and reflection sheet attached below. For some inspiration, you can look at the following website: https://www.greenkidcrafts.com/water-slide-stem-activity/?utm_source=Newsletter+Master+List&utm_campaign=c5403d94cc-weekend+STEAM+email+June+_9_17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_004b0c7793-c5403d94cc-63674301&mc_cid=c5403d94cc&mc_eid=9bdd851056 **I would love to see pictures of your creations! ☺
Building challenges from previous weeks:
Build a small car -Use materials around your house to build a small car. Let it go on a ramp to see how far it goes. *Look at the document below for more details and steps to take! Pulleys: Start by researching pulleys. Then, try to build one yourself using materials around your house (for example: legos!). You can also fill out the planning and reflection sheet attached below. For some inspiration, you can look at the following website: https://frugalfun4boys.com/simple-machines-kids-lego-pulleys-stem-building-challenge/ Levers - Catapults Start by researching levers and catapults. Then, try to build one yourself using materials around your house (for example: popsicle sticks!). You can also fill out the planning and reflection sheet attached below. For some inspiration, you can look at the following website: https://www.mombrite.com/popsicle-stick-catapult/ **I would love to see pictures of your creations! ☺ -Test different materials on various surfaces. See what surfaces has the most or least friction! If you want you can send me your results and some pictures!
