The Ultimate Paper Airplane STEAM Project: 10 Day Engineering Design Challenge
Every year since I started teaching, I've done a paper airplane contest. When I first started around 10 years ago, it was a quick contest that lasted just a few minutes. Gradually, as my experience as an educator grew, this project began to grow into what it is today... A 10 day cross-curricular mega project! I always say that student engagement is the key to learning, and I can almost guarantee that your students will be engaged during these activities! They will be measuring, graphing, reading

STEM Engineering for Elementary GATE - Wind Power, Windmills, and Wind
Two challenging but age-appropriate engineering projects highlight this unit. If you’ve taught my other STEM units, however, you know they’re not simply building projects. We’re thinking, learning science concepts, developing explanations, applying math and non-fiction reading skills, and bringing a wide variety of areas into a unit. But let’s not take lightly how cool it is to build and experiment with a cool mini glider and a working windmill!

STEAM with Hansel and Gretel!
This project is a great way to introduce measuring with students of all ages. You can do basic measuring with K-1 with a ruler using inches and centimeters. Then increase the expectation with 2-6 using area and perimeter. If you want, you can even include volume depending on your students. Either way you implement, it is sure to be an engaging activity that students will love!!
