Arctic Dogsled Racing Design Challenge - STEAM for Upper Elementary
Here’s an applied engineering challenge in which—just like in the real world of engineering—a poor design means limited success or even failure.
In the Iditarod Sled Challenge, students apply their background knowledge of physical science and use logic and imagination to construct a miniature sled that will deliver “serum” to Nome, Alaska, just like Balto once did.
Use this challenge in conjunction with your study of the arctic or the Iditarod--or as a stand-alone engineering challenge for the

Oil and Water Science Experiment
I did this with my students today. I saved up a bunch of water bottles and the students watched as I put it together. All you do is add some water, oil and food coloring. I put a little super glue on the lids so my behavior babies wouldn't have the chance to make a mess.
I teach kindergarten, so I used the younger version of the papers I created. I first let them explore with the bottles, tilt them, move them, give them a little shake. Then I had them get our their science journals. We added t
