Lesson Summary
Students take part in a hands-on STEM building challenge. Students will follow a simple process, from planning to building a structure, and will then use a redesign phase to improve the structure. The students use STEM planners to work through the design challenge. To make the STEM challenge more interesting, students have limited materials to use in the build, stretching their design and construction skills.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand elements of structural design
- work as part of a team
- develop a design plan.
Success criteria
Students can:
- share ideas with others
- use a limited amount of materials to make a structure
- troubleshoot design flaws and make adaptations.
