STEM Challenge Fun!

We completed our second STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) challenge yesterday! What a fun time! Students were challenged to create a structure (using only 20 dot candies and toothpicks) that was tall AND could hold the weight of a textbook. Only a few pairs succeeded :)  It really got us talking and thinking about the Scientific Design Process - Ask, Explore, Model, Evaluate, and Explain.
