1. Make a Kite
Children will definitely love this challenge on our list of 10 quick and easy STEM activities for elementary school students. To construct a kite, you will need various sizes of paper, plastic bags, popsicle sticks, string, tape, and glue. Cut the paper in the shape of a kite and then lay the popsicle sticks on the back in a straight line attaching them with tape. Use glue to attach the string long enough so you can easily hold it while flying the kite later. When you’re done constructing the kite, test it to see whether it rises and how long can it stay in the air.
