Challenge primary learners to explore structural engineering, stability, and height through three practical STEM tower activities. Learners build, test, modify, and compare tower designs using paper, index cards, and newspaper while investigating how different materials and structures affect performance. This KS1 STEM bundle provides a consistent format that supports independence and classroom routines.

HOW IT WORKS
Learners complete three hands-on tower challenges using different paper-based materials. Across the bundle, learners build structures, test height and stability, make improvements, and compare results. The repeated format provides familiarity while allowing learners to investigate how materials, supports, folds, and tower designs influence outcomes.

The consistent recording structure supports classroom routines, independent learning, and meaningful comparison of results across activities.

WHY THIS BUNDLE WORKS
The repeated structure makes implementation simple and low prep. Learners gain confidence as they move through the activities, while teachers benefit from a consistent format that works across STEM centres, lessons, enrichment activities, and home learning.

PERFECT FOR
• STEM centres
• Classroom investigations
• Independent tasks
• Enrichment activities
• Home learning
• After-school clubs
