Solar Oven STEM Project
This Solar Oven STEM project is adapted from John Spencer's Tiny House Maker Lab. All credit is given to him. I adapted his Tiny House Maker Lab into a 5th grade level task: building a functioning solar oven. Students love this STEM project because they get to make S'mores at the end. This project takes approximately 4 days (depending on the class). Please also download the Student Journal (FREE) which goes along with this project. The PowerPoint presentation goes along exactly with the Student

Electric Circuit Design Challenge
This 40-minute lesson uses a design-based approach to build a familiar favorite, the electric circuit game. Teams use what they know about electric circuits to solve the problem of making a quiz game. They discuss and then map out their ideas for building a working game in their science research notebook (SRN) using electric symbols. While building their game students use electrical tools such as needle-nose pliers, wire strippers, and a voltmeter. The lesson includes step-by-step instructions
