Central 4th Grade STEM Challenge
Fourth-grade students at Central Elementary build relationships as they collaborate in a STEM challenge. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math make up STEM. Students in Mrs. Scalsky’s class were given materials to build a cup pyramid without using their hands. Students had to cooperate and communicate with each other to successfully complete the challenge. While challenging the mind in building the structure, students had to articulate ideas to their peers as they used other materials to move objects.
