STEM TALK


Intro to STEM

Students had one sheet of construction paper, two pairs of scissors, and a glue stick.   
They had 30 minutes to create the longest chain that would hold up when fully extended. 
The kids had to think, create, test, fix, and recreate in hopes of having the longest and sturdiest using the same materials and time constraints.  Great fun and some really good problem solving!
