Engineering with Frogs (well rubber frogs)...

Frogs may be one of my favorite things!  I have used them as a classroom theme a few times and I absolutely love them!  Click here to check out the collection of frog challenges in my TPT store!

I decided to make up a set of STEM challenges to go with Frogs!  All you need to do is grab some rubber frogs from Amazon or the dollar store and you can find most of the other supplies in your classroom!

I grab the rubber frogs we use from Amazon!  These frogs are about 2 inches across.  You can REUSE the frogs for the different challenges.

The following challenges are included in this bundle:
