How I use these challenges in my classroom

I teach 360 students each week in grades K-4! When I began teaching multiple grade levels and the classes were only 40 minutes, my head was SPINNING! It was so hard to manage the materials, pack the lesson in, and actually give my students time to create! One class would be knocking on my door by the time I was wrapping up!

That’s why I created my SIMPLE STEM challenges. These are low-prep, elementary STEM activities that use common classroom materials. I provide suggested materials, but I do not list them on the students’ sheets. This way, you can customize all STEM challenges to fit your needs! Sometimes I will use recyclable materials, and other times I will use common classroom items.

My STEM activities always include a digital slideshow. Students can complete these digitally to save paper, or you display them on your interactive whiteboard.
