Teaching STEM through Fairy Tales: Rapunzel

By December 11th, 2023No Comments

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, lay down your long hair to me!  In the story, Rapunzel is taken as a child and forced to live alone in a tower.   In this challenge, students will design a zip line that will help Rapunzel to escape her tower.

In the Teaching STEM through Fairy Tales series, we further examine the connection between literature- specifically fairy tales- and STEM.  Each featured favorite fairy tale (try saying that one three times fast), makes a connection to STEM and ties the design challenge to the NGSS Engineering Design Standards.

During this challenge, students may work in teams or pairs to design a zip line to help Rapunzel.  Students may create any design they want as long as they only use the provided items.
