Integrate STEM activities into your end-of-year lessons by inviting young entrepreneurs to plan, design, and advertise their carnival!
End of Year STEM Project – Carnival Creator
The Carnival Creator Project is a fun way for your students to learn about Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
Students will design their carnival and advertise it to visitors in this project. Students will use their creativity, analytical skills, organisational strategies, critical thinking skills, and a whole lot of imagination to complete different tasks to develop their businesses. The project provides opportunities for students to:
- Brainstorm ideas for a carnival.
- Choose carnival attractions and find the total area for each item.
- Design a carnival blueprint using the dimensions/area calculated.
- Advertise the festival by creating a promotional flyer.
- Use creativity and artistic elements to make an eye-catching display.
What is STEM Education, and Why is it Important?
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education prepares students to succeed in their careers. The skills gained from STEM activities extend far beyond the classroom walls. By experiencing STEM education in elementary school, students develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills and learn to be curious and creative thinkers.
Differentiate and Scaffold Your STEM Learning Activities
A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your STEM program.
If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:
🆘 Support Struggling Students
Assist students with learning challenges by participating in brainstorming and listing conversations with them.
Discuss the different features, share pictures of the various elements, and talk about how those features might contribute to their overall design idea.
➕ Challenge Fast Finishers
Encourage fast finishers to create a large-scale depiction of their carnival using recyclables, write a newspaper ad, or create a slide show advertising their location.
