Halloween stem challenge

We worked in pairs to complete a Halloween STEM challenge. Our challenge was to use the resources provided to make a bone bridge that was strong enough to carry a spider (a toy spider of course!)

We used straws, lollipop sticks, string, pipe cleaners, cotton buds and sellotape. First we designed and drew a picture of our bridge on paper. Next we used the materials to build our bridge. This was challenging! After that we presented our bone bridge to the class and discussed our strategies.

Well done to Alesha and Kayla who managed to make a bridge strong enough to hold the spider. Check out some pictures of our stem challenge below. 🕷🌉
