5th Grade STREAM Project Packet: SUPER POWERS in STEM Due 11/17
Welcome, young scientists and inventors! In this STREAM
project, you'll explore how real-world STEM innovations give humans
“superpowers.” Through science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and
math, you’ll design and create your own invention that could give someone a
real-life superpower!
🎯 Project Goal
Students will research, design, and create an invention
inspired by real science and technology that gives humans a 'superpower' — such
as flight, strength, night vision, healing, or speed.
💥 Driving Questions
1. How can science and technology give humans superpowers?
2. What kind of invention could make humans stronger,
faster, or smarter?
3. How do real scientists and engineers use STEM to help
humans do amazing things?
🔬 Project
Super Senses
Explore how animals use special abilities to survive.
Research an animal with an amazing ability such as echolocation, night vision,
or camouflage. Design a prototype or model that helps humans mimic this
ability. You should have already started researching your animal in science
class.
STREAM Connections: Science, Technology, Reading,
Engineering, Art, Math
