Build A Snowman STEM Challenge

This challenge was to build a snowman using a few supplies. One was newspaper for the snowman frame, the other was tissue to cover the snowman and tape.
Students decorated their snowman with typical clothing and their own decorations from home.
Some snowmen were wide and round, short or tall.
Students followed the Engineering Design Process for this challenge. 
Students had a written and sketched plan before beginning.
As soon as they had a a three-tiered shape, they wrapped the shape like a mummy and used the tissue as a cover.
The final model had to resemble a snowman, but a specific size was not required. It did have to be free standing and creative. What Fun!!
