Disciplines Connect to all
Disciplines
Participants will:
•
develop an understanding of how to use STEM
Standards of Practice.
•
analyze grade band STEM Standards of Practice
Frameworks.
Teams are to make a stable, cost effective, and safe
building structure using the following conditions:
• Make a creative and innovative design.
• Make an attractive and sturdy building structure
to show design appeal and stability.
• Use the least amount of index cards to show
cost effectiveness.
• Test whether the model play dough pet can sit
on the very top of the building structure for 10
seconds to show a structure safety.
•
•
•
•
•
Use only index cards to build your structure.
You may bend, tear, or make any shape you
like.
Use as many index cards as needed to hold the
play dough pet model-remember to be cost
effective.
Use only one container of play dough to make
your model animal (e.g. dog, cat…).
You must use all the play dough when making
your pet animal.
• Be Open-minded
• Be Flexible
• Demonstrate the ability to agree to disagree
• Use the 3Cs: Communicate, Collaborate, Cooperate
• Accomplish the task
• Focus on the goal
• Remember the time limit (10 minutes to complete play
dough pet model and building structure)
6
Have the teams assign the following roles:
• time keeper-keeps track of time.
• recorder-write down behaviors used to design
and build the structure (e.g. what questions did
the team ask, how many index cards were used,
did the team test structure to see if it would hold
the play dough model, did the team redesign the
model…).
• speaker- share the team’s experience with the
whole group.
• leader/facilitator- keep the team focus and on
task.

Challenge
• Build a structure that will hold a
play dough model of a dog.
Materials
• 1 container of play dough: 1.5oz.
• 50 3x5 index cards
Time
• 10 minutes to design and build
• 5 minutes to test and 10 minutes
groups to share
A subject matter expert or domain expert is a
person who is an expert in a particular area or
topic.

K Hands-on activities. Students begin to learn
and demonstrate all STEM Standards of Practice.
1st- 2nd Hands-on activities. Students, with some
assistance from adults, identify, demonstrate, and
evaluate how to use all STEM Standards of
Practice
3rd- 5th - Hands-on activities, tasks or challenges.
Students independently identify, demonstrate,
apply, critique, and evaluate how and when to use
all STEM Standards of Practice.
