In the Teaching STEM through Fairy Tales II series, we are using fairy tale characters as an introduction to to the engineering design process. In each tale, students help extend the story or help our lovable characters through finding a solution to a problem that they face in the story.
This week’s fairy tale is Pinocchio. In the story, Pinocchio is a wooden puppet and wishes to be a real boy. We can’t make him into a real boy, but we can do the next best thing! In this engineering design challenge, students work in teams to design and build a puppet friend for Pinocchio.
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 included. With easy to follow teacher directions that outline the criteria, constraints and procedures, these stress-free plans will help you effectively implement STEM!
