The Ultimate Paper Airplane STEAM Project + Escape Room: 10 Day Challenge
Every year since I started teaching, I've done a paper airplane contest. When I first started around 12 years ago, it was a quick contest that lasted just an afternoon. Gradually, as my experience as an educator grew, this project began to grow into what it is today... A 10 day cross-curricular mega project! I always say that student engagement is the key to learning, and I can guarantee that your students will be engaged during these activities! They will be measuring, graphing, reading, analyz

What Do Plants Need to Grow?
What Do Plants Need to Grow? introduces students to the important role plants play in sustaining life as we know it. Plants are among the most important resources on Earth, providing us with food to eat and oxygen to breathe. In addition to adding beauty to our surrounding environment, plants also keep our soil healthy through decomposition, provide habitats for animals, and are the source of many materials we use every day—including wood, clothing, medicine, plastic, and more.

Grow a Creature Science Investigation
My students love the Grow a Creatures you can find everywhere lately, even at the Dollar Store. They come in dozens of different animals and designs. They all claim to grow 600%, but do they really? And if they do, are they measuring the growth in length, width, or area?
I designed this science inquiry project to find out. I just bought 6 different creatures (one for each table) for this investigation... so it is super cheap also!
Students will measure the length, width, and area (in square u
