STEAM Challenge
We recently took on a S.T.E.A.M challenge in our class! Our challenge was to construct a paper chain using only the following items: 1 sheet of A4 paper, a glue stick and a scissors. We worked in groups and measured our paper chains at the end! At the end of our challenge, we reflected on our work and discussed what we would do differently in the future!
