IBSC Member Story: An International Twist to a STEM Challenge |
|
|
Students from Landon School (United States) and King's School (New Zealand) engaged in a fun STEM project where they had to design and construct a package to safely transport one Pringle potato chip via the postal service. They rose to the challenge to engineer a package with the smallest mass and volume that protected the chip—using only recycled materials. The boys learned the difference between mass and weight, how to calculate volume, and how to develop a hypothesis for their designs. They enjoyed learning about life at a boys' school halfway around the world—and finding out if their chips survived the journey! To their delight most of the chips arrived intact. Learn more. |
