Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love stories that bring adventure to life for kids, which force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose storyline. Interesting scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.

Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.

One of the exciting things about this set, is the randomness that occurs with each card. I strongly suggest that children pick only one card (waiting for other children participating to finish each card before moving on), and not previewing what is on the other cards prior to building. Try folding them up and placing into a hat, bowl, or basket to be picked one at a time, as order is not necessary in this set.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

This STEM resource will help you facilitate a lesson in which students will think of ways to test the absorbency and then the strength of paper towels. Tips and suggestions for the lesson are offered. There are recording sheets as well. This activity is best done in a classroom where students have had access to scientific materials such as beakers, graduated cylinders, gram weights, etc. If these materials aren't readily available cups, coins, marbles, etc. could be used instead.

This resource really gets kids thinking!
