Our STEAM Challenge for the week was to design a working jump rope using only plastic bags and duct tape. Without my prompting, they applied what they learned in Science: a solid moves through the air faster than a gas, so they squeezed as much air as they could out of the bags. Also, adding weight to different areas of their jump ropes using duct tape helped to make the jump rope move in an arc. It was amazing to hear all of the conversations happening around the room! In case you were wondering some of the students made it to 25 doctors to fix Cinderella. ;)
