STEM Challenge: Boat Building

May 7, 2017 by feelgoodteaching Filed Under: Back-To-School, Fall, Spring, Summer

Ah…the boat building challenge — a total classic! I remember doing this myself in elementary school, though the grade escapes me. The thing is, I remember making my clay boat and trying to get it to hold as many pennies as possible. I do not, however, remember a whole host of worksheets throughout my school career, and that speaks to the power of using STEM challenges in your classroom. If you’re new to this world, I always say boats, bridges, and towers are a great introduction, so you’re in the right place!

After being a classroom teacher for ten years (grades 2-8), I’m fortunate to now follow my passion to design lessons & share ideas that help teachers everywhere find more feel-good teaching moments in their own classrooms!
