🥚 Hands-On Fun with STEM Easter Activities
To get started with these STEM Easter activities, follow these simple steps:
- Gather sustainable or recyclable materials such as cardboard rolls, tissue boxes, shoe boxes, Blu-Tack, craft sticks and string.
- Encourage students to research, brainstorm and sketch their designs before building.
- Allow time for construction and testing—can their bunny trap work? Does the basket hold eggs securely? How far will the carrot catapult launch?
- Wrap up with a reflection session, discussing what worked, what didn’t, and how they could improve their designs.
These STEM Easter activities can be done individually or in small groups, making them perfect for any classroom setup!
