Meet Freddy the frog... Freddy moves in huge leaps by bending his legs to crouch down to spring high into the air. Freddy's best friend is Silky the silk worm. Silky will soon spin a cocoon and change into a moth. Her biggest wish before this change, is to be able to jump and leap like her best friend Freddy. The STEM challenge today was to design something to help Silky to do this!
The students came up with some very creative designs - some could be patented we believe! We had a jolly jumper, springy attachable legs, platforms/cradles with springs, amusement rides and many more! Check out the slideshow below... and if you're interested, pop in to say hello to the real live silkworms in our classrooms!
