Building Bridges—Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
In this challenge, students design and build a balsa wood bridge using only wood and glue. Their goal is to build a bridge that supports the largest amount of weight. Tasks include designing blue prints, building within specific criteria and constraints and completing construction on time. Complete for six student groups.

Create a Mobile—
Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
Add art to science and engineering concepts with this creative activity. First, students discover the law of levers by balancing different numbers of wash-
ers on either end of a ruler. The results guide students to design a three-tiered mobile. Once the theme of their mobile is chosen and the objects to be balanced are constructed, students weigh each object and predict the location of the center of gravity for each level. Will the mobile be in perfect equilibrium?

Build an Electronic Board— Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
In this engineering design challenge, students build a quiz board they can use all year long! In the first part of this activity, students learn about and create a simple circuit. Next, they brainstorm how to make a quiz board that will light up when the correct answer is chosen. Once their plan is complete, students build and test their quiz boards. Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

Investigate a Twirling Toy— Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
Engage students in science and engineering practices with a simple toy! In the intro- ductory activity, students are presented
with three different spinning toy models. Then they gather data and make observa- tions regarding spin, flight path, stability and descent time. A design challenge
is then presented with specific criteria
and constraints. Based on the evidence collected, students optimize the design solution and create their own spinning toys to meet the challenge.
Egg Elimination—
Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
In this battle of brains, students design, construct and crash vehicles of mass destruction! Utilizing concepts of engineer- ing, physics and poultry, each student is challenged to create a vehicle that will not only protect its precious cargo (an egg),
but also destroy the competition! Students choose materials for their vehicles that meet design criteria and constraints. Complete for 30 students working individually.
AP8058 I $35.60
Drop Zone—Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
Explore the world of physics, projectile motion and gravity with this adrenaline-filled experience! Students are challenged to recreate the pinpoint accuracy required to air drop a package during times of war or natural disaster when land is inaccessible. Students engage in science and engineer- ing practices as they improve their designs. Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
