Snow Cleanup Challenge
Using Insta-Snow® is a great way to incorporate STEM learning during the winter season, or any time during the year. Teachers will get to choose the materials that their students can use for building their design.
Instructional Goal
The goal of this activity is for students to create a contraption that can pick up the most snow at one time with the supplies provided.
Activity Steps
- Define the Problem – Too much snow on the ground
- Develop Solution – Students research and develop solutions and discuss constraints
- Develop Models – Students create a sketch of their design
- Analyze Data from Tests – Students create the design and record failures and successes
- Optimize the Solution – Students observe other groups to find ways to improve their design
- Students improve their design
About Insta-Snow®
Use the blue measuring scoop to make the perfect amount of realistic, fluffy snow in a cup or in someone’s hands. Just add water to the liquid/powder mixture and watch it make up to 10 gallons of fluffy white snow in seconds. Leave the snow out to dry and reuse it again and again.
