STEM Drag Device Parachute Challenge (Engineering Design Activity)
Drag Device STEM Parachute Activity Students use the engineering design process and explore the forces of gravity and air resistance to design a drag device to slow down a payload. This challenge uses a ping pong ball to represent a rover landing on Mars. The rover must remain inside an uncovered cup during drop and impact testing. This hands-on activity is an engaging design challenge that allows students to work in teams, apply the engineering design process, and connect math topics to real-wo

Bridge Engineering STEM Challenge - Women in STEM History Activity (Digital)
This engaging STEM challenge is a fun way to incorporate the engineering design process into your classroom or afterschool program! Students use the engineering design process and explore compression and tension forces in bridges while building their own bridge! This challenge also highlights Emily Roebling, the first woman field engineer who was instrumental in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. History, science, engineering, literature (optional), and math-- it is all included along with

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

Float your Own Boat Displacement Lab
This is a tested and established classic lab activity. Students will explore density, volume and mass with this lab. Build your own boat with tin foil, or expand by 3D printing a final design in TinkerCAD!Your class will have fun working in pairs to make a boat out of tin foil that floats as many marbles as possible. They will then explore buoyancy, density, mass and volume as they complete the lab. This includes calculation problems for volume and density.EASEL ACTIVITY: You can now assign thi

Angles of Reflection Bulls-eye Activity
In this activity, students are challenged with reflecting a laser light off of a mirror and hitting a target. In order to do this, students must construct a model of how the laser will travel, calculating the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection, using the plane of the mirror's surface and the normal line that is perpendicular to the plane of the mirror. This activity that can be adapted to be used in any physical science class on waves, rays, and reflection or in a math class on angle
