5 Valentine's Day STEM Activities that Students will Love
This year add some hands-on learning to your Valentine’s Day plans with a STEM activity or five!
In this post we share our top 5 Valentine’s Day STEM challenges that your students are sure to love.
1. Valentine’s Day Bath Bomb STEM Challenge
Teach students about states of matter, mixtures, and chemical reactions by making bath bombs! Our bath bomb recipe is simple and only includes three ingredients (epsom salt, baking soda, and lemon juice). Bath bombs also make great Valentine’s Day gifts for students to give to parents!
2. Candy Box Designer STEM Challenge
Have students think like an engineer this Valentine’s Day by having them Design a Candy Box. For this challenge the students must design and create a box out of paper and tape that can hold an entire bag of Conversation Hearts.
3. Valentine Mail Delivery STEM Challenge
One of my favorites and an activity that students are sure to love is the Valentine Mail Delivery STEM challenge. For this STEM activity the students receive a letter from the post office explaining that they need the students to build a plane to help deliver all of the gifts and cards in time for Valentine's Day.
4. Cupid’s Bow and Arrow STEM Challenge
An activity that's sure to engage is Cupid's Bow and Arrow. For this activity the students receive a letter from Cupid informing them that he has lost his bow and arrow. The students are then instructed to build him a new and improved bow and arrow using tape, straws, popsicle sticks, and paper.
5. Flower Designer STEM Challenge
Challenge students to be flower designers this Valentine’s Day with the Flower Designer STEM Challenge. For this project the students must design a new species of flower for Valentine's Day. The new flower must contain all of the flower parts and it must solve a problem that flower gardeners face.
