Description
In April learn how to reduce, reuse, and recycle! In this Spring STEM and STEAM project, students design and invent a product using reusable/recyclable materials. Students use the engineering design cycle to develop a model to solve a problem, then use observations to write a report. A leveled text and writing prompts round out this set!
