Description
The Blow Cup Challenge is now a STEM Challenge with this engaging science project inspired by the popular YouTube Blow Cup Challenge where students try to blow one cup into another cup.
This self-paced, multi-part Blow Cup STEM challenge is print-and-go. Each activity sheet guides students through the project. This activity is iPad® mobile digital device optional – students can do the entire challenge without technology if you do not have access.
Students will determine the best type of cup, the water level to fill it to, and the distance to set between cups in order to have the best chance of landing the cups. Students will learn about controls, independent and dependent variables as they complete each part and adjust their set-up!
Students will need at 4 different type of cups – suggestions for cups is provided as is a clickable QR code that scans to a demonstration.
Packet includes:
★ Part A activities: Students will compare 4 different cups and determine which type of cup works best. (5 pages)
★ Part B activities: Students will determine the best water level to fill the cup. (4 pages)
★ Part C activities: Students will determine the best distance to space between the cups. (4 pages)
★ Part D: Students will compare their data to the class data and calculate the success rate of the independent variables. Includes an anchor chart that shows students exactly how to calculate this. (4 pages)
★ Part E: Students will create a frequency table from their choice of data then graph or create a line plot of the data. Includes an anchor chart with examples. (3 pages)

Since my products all utilize free web and app resources, there may be rare times that the technology does not work as planned, which may be out of my control. Please be sure to message me in the Q&A section so I can assist you before leaving feedback. I use all of the apps & sites that I base my packets on frequently and will update products as the apps themselves update.
