    I only used the roller coaster activity as it fit well with our science standards. The information provided served as a great resource and my students were so engaged creating and building their roller coasters. -Mikaela S.

  2. Amanda K.

    My students had so much fun doing the roller coaster project! They followed the engineering design process, researched roller coasters, and presented their creations as a culminating activity. They learned so much!!!!! -Amanda K.

  3. Julie S.

    These monthly STEM challenges are my favorite! I can’t recommend them enough. They truly are low prep (so important to me!), they are easy enough for the students to implement on their own, but also challenging enough to make them think. I really enjoy the video links and QR codes for further exploration. This resource is engaged and well researched, and I highly recommend! -Julie S.
