STEMotions: Emotipedia and Emotigraphs: Explore the science of feelings by predicting and graphing your emotional responses to different prompts. Then, get creative and design your own emoji to represent a unique emotion—even one you’ve never heard of before!

Animals: Spider Web Engineering: Use yarn to create a human-sized spider web, then test your design by seeing how well it can catch “prey.”

  • Science: Understand predator strategies and web functions.
  • Technology: Simulate spider silk with string/yarn.
  • Engineering: Design a strong, functional web structure.
  • Math: Count how many prey are caught; measure web span or string length.
