STEM BINS!!


Occasionally, I like to bring out the STEM Bins for the kids to enjoy. And ENJOY they do! 

This year, due to the fact that we are not "sharing" items to reduce the spread of germs, I made sure that each student had his/her own bin. 


I like the fact that they are not simply playing, although to the students, it feels like play time! 

They are using their engineering skills to create by using ONLY  the items that have been given to them. Problem solving and structural integrity become important as they attempt to build the assigned items. 

The first thing they had to build was a house. Then, they went on to build a bridge.


This is what they sounded like during STEM Bins.  Listen in: 


"House"


















"Bridge"
