Ms. Larson's class enjoyed the added responsibility of helping the younger students solve the problem! Ms. Arneson's students were excited when they finally "got it" and figured out how to pick the pumpkins!!

Pumpkin Picking STEM Project
Ms. Larson's 5th graders and Ms. Arneson's 2nd graders joined forces last week to work on a pumpkin picking project with a STEM focus! Students worked in teams (one 5th grader and one 2nd grader) to find the best way to pick pumpkins. Students had access to popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, spoons, and tape. Teams worked together to draw a plan and figure out what materials would be needed to pick their pumpkins with the least amount of moves.
