My Project

My students just learned that electrical energy can be transformed into mechanical energy. Electronic toys are a popular product. Students are asked to design and construct a prototype of a toy called “Voltenstein Monster.” Students will use their knowledge of circuits and motors to complete this STEM grade 4 challenge. My fourth grade STEM students are always responsible, respectful, and ready to learn about different types of energy, how electricity is created, and how their monster can be prototyped, built, and presented to other students and parents at our Capstone.
