Coffee Cup Stack Challenge

Building coffee cup stacks are a really challenging STEM activity!  Each group gets 25 cups, no other supplies are needed.  Students can really build in creative ways in this challenge.  The cups are so light that building with them can be tough!

The kids had about 25 minutes to build their free-standing towers.  They all pretty much started with the pyramid idea, then began trying different construction ideas.

Stacking cups was a great way to add some weight to the cups.  Grab this challenge individually or as part of my September Calendar STEM Challenges!  Click here to check out this challenge in my tpt store!

Grab a few packs of cups and try this challenge in your classroom this week!
