Billions of Bricks - Picture Book STEM Challenge

 We love pairing our STEM challenges with a picture book!  This challenge is paired with the book Billions of Bricks by Kurt Cyrus.  Click here for a link to the book.

The challenge was for students to make an actual sized brick using cardstock paper.  This required A LOT of measuring and was a great way to review some math.

Most of the bricks were really close to actual size.  Just a few were off.  I had the kids measure the bricks of their tablemates to determine which ones fit the size requirement.

This challenge requires really cheap materials and is still really challenging!  Click here to purchase the STEM pack!



Time to get engineering those bricks!
