Apple STEM

It is so great to be back to school! Last Friday we participated in our first STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) project.  Our task was to build a raft out of apples and toothpicks.  Students had to come up with a plan, draw that plan, then build and test their plan.  After their first plan was tested, students made it better by redesigning it then repeating the process of engineering design process.  Ask your child about the vocab words buoyancy and balance.  Can’t wait for our next STEM project!
