Description
Start the year with our most popular fall STEM challenges! These STEM activities are great for back to school, celebrating the fall season, and connecting to Halloween and Thanksgiving themes!
5 Halloween Themed Engineering Challenges
- Spider Parachute Halloween Engineering Challenge: Design a parachute to save a spider! This is a fun Halloween STEM activity that your students will love with a version for distance learning!
- Haunted House Paper Circuit Halloween STEM Activity: Whatβs more spooktackular than a haunted house? One that your students make while learning the basics of circuits! β£Includes 4 paper circuit templates and a design challenge.
- Robot Hand Candy Grabber Engineering Challenge: Design a grabber to pick up Halloween candy while also learning about human anatomy and biomedical engineering. Includes handouts for distance learning!
- Candy Grabber Engineering Challenge: Students will work in teams to design and build a device that uses the power of levers to pick up candy from a distance. After completing the project, use the provided handout to discuss the real-world STEM career as a prosthetist. Includes handouts for distance learning!
- Rescue the Witch Engineering Challenge: A storyline is provided to add the "next chapter" to the book "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson, although reading the book is not required. Your students will be excited to work in teams to rescue the kind witch!
5 Fall or Thanksgiving Themed Engineering Challenges
- Fall Pumpkin Catapult - Math & Engineering Activity (Angles and Ratios): Looking for a pumpkin chunkin' catapult challenge? Look no further with this fall or Halloween themed STEM catapult activity!
- Pumpkin Volcano Shelter Engineering Challenge: This engaging, student-driven activity includes an optional simulated volcanic eruption, to test the students' shelter designs, using baking soda, vinegar, dish soap and a pumpkin. This makes for an exciting and educational experience they will remember!
- Harvest Moon Science: First, learn about the phases of the moon using a handout designed to illustrate the moon phases using Oreos. Then discover the natural phenomenon of the "Harvest Moon" that occurs near the autumn equinox. The included handouts detail fascinating facts and instructions for exploring how the atmosphere gives the harvest moon its colored glow!
- Thankful for STEM Activity Sheet: Perfect for a warm-up or as an introduction to a STEM activity, this worksheet is a thought provoking student activity. Students are asked to describe what they are thankful for in each STEM category. This is a great addition to your lessons during Thanksgiving season!
- Thanksgiving Turkey Nest Engineering Challenge: Students will practice the Engineering Design Process with this hands-on STEM challenge building a turkey nest to safely catch a falling egg. A fun twist on the classic egg-drop challenge, this activity is an exciting way to foster critical thinking and team building skills!

CCSS6.G.A.1
Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
CCSS6.G.A.2
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas π = π πΈ π© and π = π£ π© to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
CCSS6.G.A.3
Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
CCSS6.G.A.4
Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
CCSS7.G.B.4
Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.
