Teaching Second Grade's students absolutely love to work on STEM projects. This week’s stem activity was to build a house, or a structure, of cards. I got this activity from Brook Brown ~ Teach Outside the Box. It’s currently my favorite STEM project for elementary grades.

Discover some fascinating, no prep, STEM activities and challenges you can do with your students using paper! Engineering, math and science.

Looking for a free STEM activity for the elementary classroom? Teachers are loving STEM because it's fun, hands-on, and engaging. The challenges are great for team building. This challenge is free and easy to implement. Great for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. I usually use this challenge for back to school stem, but it can be done at any time. Students will have a great time working together to discuss, design, build, and reflect.
