Newspaper Engineering – LE STEM Activity
Lower Elementary students completed a pbskids.org Design Squad Global Challenge to build Strong Newspaper Structures. They divided into groups of 3-4 students and were given newspapers, magazines, cardboard, and masking tape, working together to design and build 3-D structures strong enough to support the weight of several books. The strongest one held 7 heavy books! After testing, each team shared ideas on how they could make their structure better and stronger. That will be their next challenge. Stay tuned…
