Today in
one of our classes we completed some STEM challenges. These challenges
included science, technology, engineering, and math. Our challenge's
outcome was based on our engineering skills!
Here were our rules:
Where is the STEM?
Science-
The energy is stored into the arm of the spoon when the string is
pulled and then the energy is released causing the army man to fly
forward.
Technology- For this challenge we filmed the outcome of our design.
Engineering- Using all of those objects, we had to come up with our own design to make it work. The possibilities were endless!
Math- Using the tiles on the floor, we counted the feet in which our army man traveled.
As
you can somewhat see from the video, our group made a catapult. We used
the string to pull back on the spoon to launch the army man. My hand
was inside of the cup for support. We also used our six popsicle sticks
for support as well. Our man ended up launching thirteen feet!
Our reaction after our army man launched 13 feet!!!
