Description
ENGAGE STUDENTS IN A REAL WORLD STEM ACTIVITY!
Make learning fun with a STEM Challenge! For the Marble Run STEM challenge, students are asked by a toy company to design and create a marble run.
The STEM Process:
Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't.
Students would enjoy completing this as a MakerSpace activity or as a STEM center. Amazing resource for STEM club, STEM Teachers, parents who love hands-on learning, and elementary teachers who want to create a hands-on educational environment in their classroom!
Aligns with NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards).
