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.
