1. STEM Activity: The Runaway Pumpkin

2. What is S.T.E.M.? It is when we use science,
technology, engineering, and math to help us solve problems!

3. Scientists, here is your challenge!
We know that pumpkins can roll because they have a certain characteristic.
How can we make our
pumpkin roll the furthest?
Round

4. Here is what you will need to build a ramp. Here are your materials:
Pumpkin
Unifix Cubes
Connecting Cubes
Popsicle sticks
Tape
Ruler

5. Engineering Design Process

6. With your group, imagine and plan out your ramp.
Materials:
Pumpkin
Unifix Cubes
Connecting Cubes
Popsicle sticks
Tape
Ruler

7. Create your ramp and test it out!

8. How far did your pumpkin roll
How far did your pumpkin roll? Measure it with unifix cubes and write the number on your paper.

9. Reflection: What worked well? What would you improve?
