STEM Design Challenge

In our science class, we were given a block to design and create a water slide for a small toy. All of our groups had to use teamwork, their understandings of physics and design and be able to work under pressure. This was the design our team came up with.

If we were to do this again, we wouldn't use the easel and instead use one of the larger pieces of wood to hold up our slide. We would also make it longer or taller, since the main point of the challenge was to make the longest/tallest slide. We would also cut the top of the cups, since the toy got stuck in slide. All of the teams had a fun time doing this, and learned from the experience, even if their designs didn't work.
