Growing a STEM Classroom

Engaging families with STEM challenges at home is an important part of our school year.  It is a great way to get families talking about the things going on at school while having fun!  

Most of the time these family STEM challenges coordinate with challenges we are doing in the classroom.  The August Family STEM Challenge is one of my favorites!  Just send 10 balloons home with each student in a baggie.   Click here to buy this pack!  You can also send a ruler in the bag.  I just print paper rulers!  

Can you create the tallest free-standing tower with 10 balloons?

In the classroom we do the Balloon Tower Challenge as one of our first challenges.  Click here to purchase the classroom balloon tower challenge.

Stay tuned for more family STEM challenges!
