Are you looking for something that has ALL of your students engaged?  Do you hate planning out activities that are exhausting? Have you tried STEM yet in your classroom?  I have got you covered with this FREE Stem activity that will have teachers and students excited!!!

Looking for a free STEM activity for the elementary classroom? Teachers are loving STEM because it's fun, hands-on, and engaging. The challenges are great for team building. This challenge is free and easy to implement. Great for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. I usually use this challenge for back to school stem, but it can be done at any time. Students will have a great time working together to discuss, design, build, and reflect. #elementaryisland #elementarystemactivities #freestem


This lesson is one that I designed to use at the beginning of the year, but it can be implemented whenever you have time.  I read "Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon" and we discuss what it means to stand tall.  We then build this tall tower and place a picture of Molly Lou on top!

Here are some examples of towers that were created. {Molly Lou has been removed}

The students had a great experience and even my reluctant students were engaged and working hard to come up with ideas.  It's great to hear the discussion happening about how to build, see the students work together for a common goal, and make any changes necessary when the original idea doesn't work (happens just about every time)!
