STEM Kid Engineering and Construction - Roman Polyspastos Crane
It’s kid-built with some guidance in a couple hours and the envy of friends—the ancient Roman polyspastos crane with treadwheel.
Do you have a young engineer who needs an independent study project, a talented builder in home school, or need an engaging summer project for your nonverbally gifted child? If you have an engineering classroom and understand the value of hands-on exploration, the Roman Polyspastos Crane project is right for you. While building with kits or Legos or K’Nex is good, n

Cardboard Chair Engineering STEM Challenge (Distance Learning)
In this exciting online, at-home, or at-school project, students learn about engineering, center of gravity, pressure, design diagrams, and product evaluation. While this lesson is designed for upper elementary and middle school, it can be easily scaled up to high school physics with some more advanced calculations. I use this lesson in STEAM, STEM, physical science, and general science classes. The resulting student chairs will blow your mind. Sharp scissors and cardboard required.

Under Pressure
Everything beneath the layers of the ocean is under a great deal of pressure (the amount of force per unit area). Water, like all things on Earth, is continually pulled downward by the force of gravity. As you go deeper into the ocean there is more water above you and therefore a greater weight pushing down on you. This is the reason water pressure increases with depth. In fact, for every 10 meters traveled deeper into the ocean, there is an additional 6.47kg (14.27lbs) of pressure on each squar
