Halloween STEM Activities - 6 STEM Challenges - Print & Paperless

Halloween STEM Activities will keep your kids engaged in brain-busting work disguised as fun!

This bundle includes the following 6 Halloween STEM activities:

⭐ Bone Bridge® STEM Challenge Activity

⭐ Creature Catcher STEM Challenge Activity

⭐ Ghosts in the Graveyard STEM Challenge Activity

⭐ Treat Toss STEM Challenge Activity

⭐ Wings Wanted STEM Challenge Activity

⭐ Halloween STEM Improv Activity (336 possible combinations!)

The basic idea:

• In the 5 Halloween STEM Challenge Activities, students work in partners or groups against criteria & constraints lists to design and build Halloween-themed devices. (Each challenge can also be related to a non-Halloween theme if your school doesn't allow holiday activities; teacher notes are included).
  • Modification suggestions are included to make these challenges engaging and productive for students in grades 2 - 8.

• In Halloween STEM Improv, students randomly select an object, material, and function and flex their creativity & critical thinking muscles to plan a design.
  • The example shown in the preview is: Design a door knocker, made out of Frankenstein's neck bolts, that distributes candy.
