Get your kids' engaged with STEM! Read the nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill to students and allow them to find the problem. That's the challenge! Pass out materials (there is a suggested list for each grades K-4th), show/read challenge and the expectations, start a time (I use www.online-stopwatch.com), and let them explore, test, and improve on their OWN ideas. If your students need a little more help there are question cards that can help them think of ways to improve their work. Early Finishers
