STEM Billy Goats Gruff

Get your kids' engaged with STEM! Read the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff to students and allow them to find the problem. That's the challenge! Pass out materials (there is a suggested list for each grades K-4th), show/read challenge(s) and the expectations, start a timer (I use www.online-stopwatch.com), and let them explore, test, and improve on their OWN ideas. If your students need a little more help, allow them to use the designed QR codes to watch safe videos to help deepen their understanding of how bridges are built and used!

You will need various materials for the students to use to build their bridges.
String, Playdough, Popsicle sticks, tooth picks, tape, and scissors.

-Coin Roll Covers - Use these little labels and tape/glue them to 3 rolls of coins -- dimes, nickles, and quarters. These will be your three Billy goats. There is even a troll image to print and tape to the bottom of students' desks to make the STEM more engaging.
