It is usually an extension of what the students just discovered and learned. Group work and problem-solving are at the heart of these STEM / STEAM challenges.Įach activity challenge will end with a real-world research question, video, or activity. These activities are fun, engaging, and the students will learn science in the process. This activity will challenge students to work together in groups to complete the given task. The second Junior Science Club session was all about making a marshmallow catapult from marshmallows, sticks and a spoon Mrs Sharkey (Senior Science.
#MARSHMALLOW CATAPULT HOW TO#
Teachers have found these videos to be very helpful by showing them step-by-step how to run the activity and giving them a better understanding of the science behind it. In the teacher demonstration video, I give you an overview of the activity challenge, talk about the materials involved and where to get them, demonstrate how to set up the challenge for the students, and discuss the science involved. This STEM Activity Challenge includes teacher instructions, student instructions (worksheet), grading rubrics, a demonstration video for the teacher, a materials needed sheet, and the related NGSS standards! This challenge requires you to construct your own catapult out of everyday items such as ice lolly (popsicle) sticks and bulldog clips, then use it to hurl marshmallows at a friend (or enemy). Save Money, buy a bundle!!! This activity is also available as part of one of my 16 packs or the “STEM for the whole year 36 Pack”! Click on the links below to check it out!! Our first experiment is the marshmallow catapult, where you’ll need good aim and a reliable laboratory assistant to complete this tasty task successfully. You can customize the text in the Worksheets, Grading Rubrics, Materials Lists and Teacher Instructions to suit your class!

To include technology, ‘Pic Collage’ could be used to take photographs of the catapults and combined with video as an eBook using ‘Book Creator’.Ĭharlotte is going to be running this activity again at the Girlguiding Anglia Ready 4 Take Off STEM event on the 17th March 2018 where there will be 500 leaders trying out a range of STEM activities including the marshmallow catapult challenge.****This S.T.E.M. It could also relate to science by carrying out comparative tests and art by looking at the aesthetics of the catapult. It relates to engineering by constructing the catapult and maths looking at shapes and measurements. The children in groups constructed a small catapult using marshmallows and then tried to fire the marshmallows from the catapult into the bucket. She carried out a marshmallow catapult challenge which was very popular. Weve created five awesome records so that you can show the adults how its done - take a look below at what records are up for grabs. Objective: 4-H Youth use a simple self-built catapult to illustrate the laws of force and motion. Charlotte Bennett, a student digital leader from the English DLaB team, recently took part in a STEAM Big Bang 2018 event with the University of Northampton at Silverstone Race Circuit. Were looking for record breakers At GWR HQ weve been busy creating records just for you - people under 16, so you dont have to compete unfairly alongside the grown-ups.
