Build STEM Goals With Push And Pull Vehicles!

Help me give my students assorted construction vehicle toys for their construction project inquiry!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hu's classroom raised $344

My Project

One major STEM standard for kindergarten students in New York City is to learn about the forces of push and pull, and its effect on the objects around us. To support this learning, my students will be participating in a project based inquiry on construction vehicles and its engineering impact when helping to build a community.

The principals of push and pull lay a crucial foundation for students to learn about physics and develop a general understanding of how our world works.

Learning these concepts support children's understanding of how various forces and motions react to their surrounding environment. Construction vehicles are terrific examples to demonstrate these concepts to young students because they are tangible objects that are consistently on the move around our school community. With the constant development of high-rises in our busy city, these vehicles make a personal connection to my students' natural curiosity.

I am asking for a variety of toy construction vehicles to teach my students about the concepts of push and pull in an organic and fun way. Many of these toys already have push/pull mechanics installed within them, which will naturally entertain and peak these young engineers' curiosity to explore!
