My Project

We can't wait to use these STEM Problem Solving Kits during our unit on Tall Tales. The requested kits will add to the books about John Henry and Paul Bunyan in this project.

Students will explore the legend of Paul Bunyan and then design a wagon to carry his heavy knapsack!

They will develop skills in force and motion, structure and stability, the design process and problem solving.

Students will explore the legend of John Henry and then build a working conveyor belt to help him race a steam-powered drill! They will develop skills in structure and stability, the design process, understanding gears and problem solving.

We also have requested some books on these Tall Tale characters.
