Goal

The goal of this activity is to engage students in a STEM problem solving activity. The activity results in the movement of an item built by students. 

 

What will be done with my students

Students will work with partners/groups to build with a K'Nex kit. The kits have 9 different builds and 18 experiments. Students will be working with hydraulics and pneumatics. These aspects are generally overlooked in classroom experiments and activities.
