Teaching STEM through Fairy Tales II- Cinderella

By December 11th, 2023No Comments

Next on our fairy tale journey, we’re going to talk about Cinderella.  And who doesn’t love a tale of princes, princesses and a pair of wicked step-sisters?  As the cruel step-sisters crush Cinderella’s hopes of going to ball, the helpful house critters help her do all of her chores so that she can make it there in time!

In this design challenge, students work to design and build a device that will help Cinderella clean more efficiently so that she can go to the ball!  As always, materials are cost-effective and easily found.  Students work in teams to learn and practice the NGSS engineering design performance expectations.

Each fairy tale in this popular series includes an engineering challenge design brief aligned to NGSS engineering design performance expectations. Any supplementary resources needed (templates, targets, etc.) and interactive STEM notebook pages are also included.  With easy to follow teacher directions that outline the criteria, constraints and procedures, these stress-free plans will help you effectively implement STEM!
