Today students did their very first STEM activity. They were given the task of creating an egg bungee jump where it had to be dropped from five feet and had to come within two inches of the floor without touching it. Students were given a stocking, yarn, rubber band, and a balloon. First they had to work with their team and come up with a design/plan. Students were first given a bag of rice that weighed the same as an egg until they were ready to test in front of the class.
yeah - a winner!
Students tested it and the redesigned as necessary.
Lots of discussions and debating going on - love it!!
This was definitely a high engagement activity.
