Science: Please check your school email for the assignment titled, “STEM Challenge.” I also sent this to your parents’ emails that are on file with the school. Here are the main directions of the assignment…

Believe it or not, many, many years ago, kids had to use their imaginations if they wanted to play. They didn’t have games, toys, or video games at their fingertips. They didn’t have team sports to occupy their time like today. If they wanted to play, they had to come up with their own ideas and make their own toys. They couldn’t just run to the store every time that they wanted something to do. Girls were designing and making things like homemade dolls and puppets, and boys engineered and built things like tops, checkers, and forts. They were doing STEM even back in those days.

Right now, you are going through a unique time in life where we are supposed to be social distancing. Our normal lives have been put on hold. Over the next two weeks, I want you to use your imagination much like the kids back in the old days did, but with modern ideas and materials.

This STEM challenge is for you to design and create a toy, game, or activity of your own.
Here are the rules:

• It must be made from recycled or repurposed materials that you already have at home. Do NOT go buy new materials.
• It must have a MINIMUM of 7 steps in the process.
• You CANNOT just alter something that is premade. This must be completely made by you.
• It can be made to play with by one person or multiple people.
• Send in a picture of YOU and your creation by Friday, May 8th. 
• A video of how it works would also be a plus!
• You will find some pictures of ideas in your email. You may use one of them OR you can come up with one of your own. Be creative and involve your family if you’d like. 

Spanish: COMPLETE the attached review worksheet for Unit 3.  Print and write out your answers or write on a separate sheet of paper.  Take a pic and send to me.
