My Project

Using pre-cut pieces to build and customize airplanes and boats, students test and fine-tune their creations! These STEAM kits from Lakeshore Learning are a great way to introduce students to early STEAM Concepts plus they are lots of fun. In the past, I have had my students measure the length of their airplane's flight and then try to engineer them to fly further. With the boat kits, we have tried to see how high we can add to the boat's structure before they capsize - and we actually tested them in water.
