    Perfect STEM resource

    This is such a great STEM activity for littles. I made some adjustments and used Valentine’s gummies but I loved the construction zone maps and that they had “shapes to try” for students.

    Fun STEM activity

    Students were challenged to build with jelly beans. They found them hard to poke with toothpicks.

    Did this activity in science class and it was also relevant for the unit we were working on in math. They were given minimal instruction just that they had to create the tallest tower using jelly beans and tooth picks. They started off in teams of 4 and some decided to merge teams. It was amazing to see them work together and collaborate!
