Simple STEM Challenge with Paper: Design and Create a Leaf Glider This is a very simple STEM project that can be done using only a few simple materials. It offers high engagement and kids always have fun launching their gliders to see how far they fly and what kind of path they take. First, gather up the materials: You can have students gather fallen leaves to trace or just cut leaves out of paper. Then create a glider! Which leaf will work best? How can you fold or transform it? Here are some design examples: What skills do students work on? In addition to following the Engineering Design Process to complete this challenge, students will get a hands-on feel for concepts like aerodynamics and drag, hone fine motor skills with cutting and folding, and utilize measurement skills by tracking the distance their gliders travel. You can add in a math component by having them launch their gliders ten times and finding the average distance traveled. Add more rigor into this activity with the STEM challenge resource (or get the pack of fall STEM challenges) on Teachers pay Teachers:

Stem Count: Growers Bunch, 5-8 main stems with many branching stems Color: Green Season: Almost All Year, can be hard to get May-June Flower Design Type: Greenery Pros/Cons Flower Care Quantity Help Substitutes Pros: Like so many people, we’re big fans of the eucalyptus family. The silver dollar species is a wonderful way to work in some stunning leafy greens when constructing wedding arches, arbors, or table greenery. This plant can also be used in bouquets if you desire a heavy greenery look. Cons: Sometimes the leaf size can be inconsistent — either really large or medium in size. When you order these leaves in a big bunch, you can separate out more constant shapes, or you can go with the eucalyptus flow and use them as is. Eucalyptus can be hard to get late April-June, and when the growth is new, expect for the tops of the plant to be tender and to shrivel up. However, this can easily be plucked off. Give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water. Remove leaves below waterline. Silver Dollar Eucalyptus is a 'Greenery'. Based on our design suggestions and this greenery's specific bunch size, here is our quantity recommendation: Bridal Bouquet: 1/4 bunch Maids: 1/4-1/6 bunch, depends if there will be other greens involved Bouts: Sprigs Corsages: Sprigs Centerpieces: 1/5-1/6 bunch, depends if there will be other greens involved Large Arrangements: 1-2 bunches Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point. Acceptable Subs: Another type of Eucalyptus or a greenery specific to your palette and order.
