November STEM News
CC Griffin Middle School STEM
November Design Squad Challenge!
Build a rollercoaster! You may only use straws and tape. We will be testing your design with a ping-pong ball. We will select the winner based on the time it takes your ping pong ball to go down the rollercoaster from start to finish. The design with the LONGEST time will win! You will build this at home and bring it to school. You may mount it on a piece of cardboard but can only use tape. Turn in your completed rollercoaster to the 6th Grade STEM Lab- make sure your name is on it! Just place it on Mrs. Caligan’s desk! Rollercoasters are due by November 20th and we will race them on November 21st!
8th Grade needs your help!
Congratulations to our October Design Squad Challenge Winners!
