Creating leprechaun traps in advance of St. Patrick’s Day

The 3rd – 5th grade class has started planning out their Leprechaun traps for St. Patrick’s Day. They are working in teams and have been instructed to include at least one simple machine in their trap. The students had to draw a blueprint for their trap and began gathering supplies. This is designed to be a fun project that incorporates several S.T.E.A.M. elements of learning as well.
