Building Bridges—
Join in on the craze—use fidget spinners to teach your students about physics! In this Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM, students design and build a bearingless fidget spinner toy for FlinnToy company. Using different materials and the concept of moment of interia, each student is challenged to create the longest spinning toy while staying within FlinnToy’s budget.

Introducing STEM Through Electricity—Flinn STEM
Design ChallengeTM
Students learn how to make a simple electric circuit and draw circuit diagrams. Next they apply their knowledge of series and parallel circuits to wire a duplex outlet with two lamps
in which one lamp is controlled by a switch and the other is not. Success at each step encour- ages students to continue the design process at the next level. You will definitely see the “light- bulbs go on” as students engage in science and engineering practices to master a final circuit designchallenge!

In this Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM, students create a wire maze game that puts their hand-eye coordination to the test. First students complete an introductory activity that reinforces the concepts of open and closed circuits. Then the creativity begins! As students brainstorm to ensure they are meet- ing the specific design criteria and constraints to design a successful solution, they actively engage in science and engineering practices.

Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
This activity familiarizes students with the exciting world of engineering design. Students practice the design process by asking questions, defining problems, plan- ning, creating, testing, evaluating and more! Students investigate variables to determine how each affects the marble’s speed along a rubber band track. Watch students’ engage- ment increase as they apply the concepts from the introductory activity to build a marble maze with the longest run time.

FLINN SCIENTIFIC I 1-800-452-1261
Students investigate how the blade design
of a wind turbine affects its power gener- ation. Students learn how to build a rotor and blade assembly, then test their proto- type with a DC motor (acting in reverse as a generator) connected to a multimeter. A fan provides wind. The highest readings of volts and amps are recorded, and the maximum power output is calculated. After observing and analyzing data from the preliminary tests, students brainstorm and decide how to make adjustments to enhance their design.
