What is Fall without pumpkins? When October rolls around, kids begin to feel the Halloween itch, and with that comes pumpkin everything! Many times we teach students about pumpkin life cycles, but these pumpkin STEM activities are perfect for keeping your students engaged and learning important math and science skills
Spooky and simple Halloween learning activities and STEM activities. Work number sense, counting, coloring, chemistry, STEM and more your child will love.
This is a ready to use STEM challenge featuring the story Splat the Cat - Pumpkin Picking Plan. We use the book as the hook and then the students learn about forces and motion(pushes and pulls). This addresses the Georgia Science Standard of Excellence for Kindergarten (SKP2)- Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and describe different types of motion. a. Plan and carry out an investigation to determine the relationship between an object’s physical attributes and its resulting motion. However, I use this lesson with my 1st grade students. Then students are asked to build a wagon that can be pushed or pulled to help Splat the Cat get his pumpkin home instead of making a mess all over town with his large pumpkin! Students will learn about pushes and pulls with this fun fall children's book and this push and pull /force/motion STEM lesson. This lesson gives you information about the book, links to the science of push/pull. Then it gives you the challenge, suggested materials, and guides you through the process of getting kids ready to complete the challenge. This one is set-up to be used with Kindergarten or 1st grade. I use the book as the hook and then turn the problem into our STEM challenge. I have my students for 45 minutes at a time. You could possibly extend it into a two week lesson activity. Please feel free to share any feedback. I have more resources if you feel this one was helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my resources! This resource includes the following: *Links to the story: Splat The Cat -Pumpkin Picking Plan *Links to videos about forces and motion *Challenge *Constraints *Materials list *Testing Slide *Student Example *Planning sheet I create these resources to be used in my own classroom! I teach from this very same file! It is a good visual for students and if you were to be observed by administration. It helps to guide you with the lesson and gives the students a visual of what is expected. I work super hard on these lessons because I want my students to be engaged, have fun, and enjoy learning while they are in my classroom! I try to create real-world lessons where students have to engineer and design the solution. It also gives them something to take home to hopefully explain the "process" of what they learned to adults at home! Please feel free to ask my questions and leave helpful feedback!!
