Stem boat challenge

Are you looking for a simple, Fall-themed STEM activity to do with your class? This Apple Boats STEM Activity is an easy and fun way for children to test different sizes of apples and materials to see if apples float in water. Stem boat activity Your children will need the following supplies to create the boat.

I mean, just look at those fabulous boats. Unfortunately, they will not stand up in the water. Even when we started adding weight to the boats they would tip over quickly. Kids were so disappointed by this, but they quickly redesigned and took off to STEM Mart again. (If they had money left over.) (By the way, I have repeated this challenge many times and the best day ever was when we used fake money. Oh. My. Goodness. They loved that!) Leprechaun Lockdown Paperless STEM Challenge Encourage your kids to test their designs, identify problems, and keep improving until the problem is solved. If their boat capsizes, discuss why. Was the gold unevenly distributed? Was there too much gold for the design? If yes, what can be improved? Was the boat leaking? Was there ‘bad weather’ (kid-created big waves)?
