Halloween Ghost Tower Building

An engaging STEM activity for Halloween! Build a ghost tower using white plastic or paper cups, stacking them to create the largest ghost possible.

For this activity:

Use white plastic or styrofoam cups.
On one cup, draw eyes and a nose. This will be the top cup, the face of the ghost.
Before beginning the experiment, ask you child to predict how many cups they will be able to stack before it falls over.
Keep trying until you have the highest possible ghost.
Once you have had fun trying this activity, use glue to stick the cups together and attach string to the top so that you can hang your ghost and use it as a Halloween decoration.
