STEM Activity Challenge Swinging Pendulum (Upper Elementary)
STEM Project for Third, Fourth and Fifth grades.In this activity, students will work in groups to determine which factors (angle, length, or mass) affect the period of a pendulum. Through several different experiments, they will discover that only changes in length affect the period. Near the end of this project, the challenge will be for each group to create a pendulum of period 1 second by using the knowledge they’ve gained through prior experiments.For a list of materials, please click here!

STEM Activity Challenge Musical Straws (Upper Elementary)
STEM Project for Third, Fourth and Fifth grades.Working in groups, students will explore sound. They will cut a normal straw and turn it into a musical instrument. They will then cut the straw to different lengths and analyze how the length changes the pitch. In the process, they will make a lot of noise (I mean music:) and have a ton of fun!***If you are interested in a differentiated version of this resource for grades K-8, please click here.For a list of materials, please click here!
