STEM Challenges: PROBLEM: I have ten tons of unsharpened, brand new pencils. SO, I had to invent things to build with them. Check this post for three STEM challenges that use pencils!

Are you ready for this? Brace yourselves! What would you do with ten tons of pencils you don't need? We built stuff. Don't worry- the pencils were not wasted! It's the great Pencil Challenge extravaganza! Okay, full disclosure here! I am a teacher.Why wouldn't I need pencils?So, let me explain (and I know I begin a lot of

March has finally arrived and in just one short week selection Sunday will be upon us and the madness will begin. Unfortunately, the madness that I am referring to does not just apply to basketball. After being cooped up inside during the winter months, the warmer weather seems to trigger some kind of alarm that tends to set students off. Students in the upper grades are also on edge due to standardized testing.Why not give your students a break and allow them to embrace the madness? Allow…

Bucket Tower. It even sounds silly. I never dreamed when we invented this challenge that it would become so popular. Except for Building Boats and Roller Coasters, this is the challenge that I get the most questions about. I promise this is what happened: I had a class prepared for a tower building challenge.

This is a STEM Challenge all about a tower with a unique feature. We call these Bucket Towers and it's a favorite challenge for a reason. It involves some great problem solving and the design must also include a reason a tower would need a bucket! Check this post for more!

Bucket Towers is an original STEM Challenge for upper elementary classes and it is a student favorite. You will love the easy prep! This is hard to believe, but some of our best STEM Challenges have been created accidentally. The STEM Bucket Tower challenge is one of those! Building boats was another total spur-of-the-moment challenge.

The end of the school year is such a special time as testing winds down, and you finish teaching those last few standards. You may even find you have little pockets of time throughout your days when you and your students can work to strengthen that special classroom community bond that's been building throughout the year. One of my favorite ways to savor that last few weeks with my family-away-from-home before they head off for summer break is through design challenges and game play.

Each year, I teach a simple machines unit. Each year, I try to figure out ways to integrate STEM ideas into the mix. This year, I wanted to find ways to engage my learners right away. Sometimes the simplest thing to do is grab simple items to create the perfect STEM project! The best part...you just need 4 simple supplies or less for the each challenge. The first challenge is to create a way to get the cup of cubes to the top of the table. This is all I gave them: Toilet paper tubes, a cup…
