STEM activities for winter and holidays can be fun and engaging. Kids will love these STEM challenges for winter and Christmas! Students can practice their science and engineering skills while learning about electrical circuits, making predictions, troubleshooting, and completing fair tests on a prototype. Here are some ideas:
1. Dissolving Candy Canes in different liquids
2. Light Up Ornaments
Students will make ornaments that light up with simple circuits!
3. Snowball Launchers (I used ping pong balls or large marshmallows) Great design thinking as students test and retest and redesign their ping-pong ball launchers.
Students love making electrical circuits out of paper, copper tape, and LED lights. My resource has templates and directions that make this activity easy!
6. Build an Igloo out of Sugar Cubes
Great building activity. It is harder than it looks!
7. Chemical and Physical Reactions- Expanding Snowman This one is super fun! Students put snow in the baggie and add a mystery substance. Wow! it blows up big!
8. Light Up Snow Flake Ornament
These beautiful ornaments are easy to make and the students love them!
9. Building with gumdrops and toothpicks
This STEM challenge is great for small groups.
So many ideas for holiday STEM and Winter STEM
These ideas and more, with detailed instructions, step by step, science background and follow-up pages are available in my store. I have done the hard part of planning it out and providing the directions.
