Phun Physics are STEM challenges is used to expose students to physics related topics such as engineering, simulation, animation and art. These STEM activities engage students in challenges while at the same time reinforce the Ohio content standards of the corresponding unit. These inquiry activities build the problem solving skills of students and drive them to think critically without requiring a large school budget or commitment to one product. The real excitement from the Phun Physics challenges occur when the struggling learners get an opportunity to shine due to their creativity or hands-on skills. These Phun Physics STEM activities have been critical in my classroom in preparing my students to be 21st century learners.
