Engineering Team Tower Building
This activity is great for the beginning of the year for any science class and at any level. It’s the first activity I do before I start doing labs because it really emphasizes teamwork and what it takes to be a productive, responsible, cooperative, hard working and patient group member for labs and activities. The only materials you need are 1 cup, 1 piece of tape (I give them 6 inches of masking) and 1 piece of paper. Before I give them the materials I have them write down the 5 most important

Egg Drop Project / STEM Challenge
This is procedure is for the Egg Drop Project! Students will create a design to protect an egg from breaking when dropped from various heights. You can use your school's stairwell, drop them out of the window, or even just stand on your classroom tables and drop them from there. Use your judgement for your class! This will allow students to engage in engineering design and this activity can be linked to many different standards and units. For example, I often use this project to wrap up my unit
