Make a small one in an hour or turn it into mega project and see if you can make a really big one.
Build a Paper Roller Coaster: if you have paper, tape, scissors, a marble, and creativity, you can build a theme-park worthy marble roller coaster.These are projects that take a couple of hours, and if your kids really get into it, these can easily turn into multiday adventures: While many of these more-involved activities can be made shorter or longer depending on the time and energy you have, with summer approaching and kids having lots of free time on their hands, I'd like to highlight some of the even-bigger STEM projects that are still left on my personal list. Other times, I opted for activities that were more involved, like making slime three ways, building a straw robot hand, and making our own kites. That is why I chose activities like observing a candle see-saw, making ice cream in a bag, and building a popsicle stick catapult. In fact, there have been many days when I was specifically looking for something small to fill a gap in our day.
Most days, I'm not looking for a big STEM project. Today makes our 30th blog post in the Doing Science at Home series.
I also never imagined we would get through so many STEM activities as a family during our COVID-19 quarantine. I never imagined it would go on this long! Twelve weeks - that's how long it's been in my house since COVID-19 transmission forced schools to send kids home, businesses to close or shift to online operations, and our family to stop hanging out with friends in person.
