STEM Lab Projects Make Learning 'STICK'

Help me give my students the ability to create STEM projects using glue guns and glue sticks.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Castle's classroom raised $239

My Project

After we complete units in science and social studies, we try to have a hands-on activity to showcase their learning in a fun and purposeful way. We have built marble races through food webs, roller coasters to demonstrate kinetic/potential energy, and popsicle stick cabins for colonial history.

By supplying glue guns and glue sticks, you are giving my students the opportunity to show what they have learned in more kinesthetic ways!

Sometimes, reading and writing answers isn't a student's strength, but creativity can be! Our STEM projects can unite the learning in the books to real-world applications.
