Spider Parachute Halloween STEM Activity
Design a parachute to save a spider! This is a fun Halloween STEM activity that your students will love with a version for distance learning! When some spiders are born, they make parachutes out of their silk in order to safely drop from their mother’s web. They release a few strands of silk that form a triangular-shaped parachute that catches the breeze and lifts them in the air! But in our challenge today, one of the baby spiders is unable to deploy their parachute and needs your help to get d

STEM Kid Engineering -- Street Lights and Desk Lamps
Need an independent study or small group GATE lesson that will be a sure-fire hit?
Imagine your students had a personal desk lamp, the classroom lights dimmed, only a glow from a tiny bulb midst the quiet occasional rustling pages of novels atop desks. Ahh, peaceful! Now imagine the students built the lamp themselves—a miniature streetlight. They applied geometry and math calculations, constructed the light’s base from scratch and from blueprint specifications, and completed the wiring all o

kool aid ratios
To practice ratios and equvalent ratios students will compare kool aid solutions. I have students complete the front by analyzing models and completing a table. Then on the back students get to make 5 solutions. I give them solid drink mix ( 2 types), a spoon, mixing cup, water, and small tasting cups. They make the kool aid, rate the taste, and write the ratios of teaspoons to mL of water.
