Chicka Chicka Boom Boom STEM Challenge




 
 

 
 

 



On Thursday of last week I gave the students a STEM challenge.  STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

They had so much fun!!

We read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom first.Next I asked the following questions:


Can you build an alphabet tree?

How many letters does it hold?

These pictures are from our challenge.  I believe the highest number of letters a tree would hold was 23. There was fantastic discussion about problem-solving when the letters fell off and about the base of the tree and how to arrange the branches.  Lots of thinking!!! It was awesome!!!
