Designing a SHARK Cage STEM Challenge

We studied sharks at the end of this school year.  The kids did reports, question slides, STEM challenges, and a dissection!

One of their favorite activities so far has been designing a shark cage!

There were some rules they had to follow.  The cage had to be three dimensional and there had to be some type of way for someone inside the cage to see things outside the cage.  There also had to be a way to open and close the top of the cage!

We used a variety of supplies for this challenge, this included cardboard, straws, craft sticks, model magic, and masking tape.  The kids came up with a lot of different ideas for this one!

This STEM challenge was a lot of fun for everyone!  Click here if you want to check out a 5 pack of shark related STEM challenges!
