Kindergarten STEM project - January edition

Get ready to slide into science! Our junior engineers are taking on the Great Sled Challenge, where they’ll design and build custom ramps to see whose sled can travel the farthest across the finish line. By experimenting with different materials and slopes, students will explore the basics of physics—specifically how the height of their ramp changes the distance their sled travels. We’ll be grabbing our rulers to measure every record-breaking jump, turning our classroom into a winter laboratory of gravity, friction, and high-speed fun!

STEM Concepts We're Exploring

Gravity: Learning what pulls the sled down the hill.

Slope: Seeing if a steeper ramp makes a faster ride.

Measurement: Using tools to track height (inches/cm) and distance (feet/meters).
