This is one of my favorite resources I’ve ever bought on TPT. I love bringing STEM activities like this into my classroom (especially in centers), but I don’t have the time or energy to create them from scratch. These are fabulous! I especially love that each activity includes videos, QR codes with links for extra research opportunities, and a Google Slides journal for the students to record their data. I also really, REALLY appreciate that each activity requires very few supplies. I can’t recommend this resource (and her other monthly STEM challenges) enough! -Julie S.

The pom pom slingshot was an absolute hit with my students! They couldn’t wait to go home and show everyone the slingshot they made! We also used other projectiles to see if they made a difference on how far things could go. Thanks for a great product! -Catherine Sparks

These STEM lessons were a highlight in my students’ digital learning experience. This resource made it super easy for my students to learn about new concepts and then create a product at home. Thank you so much!! -Chelsea Kollack

This is a great resource to use the first couple of days at school. Builds team work, sets expectations for group projects and gives students meaningful work while they acclimate back into the school year. -Planning In Pencil
