Ten Apples Up on Top

Stacking Ten

You will need:

After reading Ten Apples up on Top, try out this fun stacking ten activity! The goal of this activity is to stack 10 Dixie cups on top of one another without the tower falling over. Our cups were actually kind of large as they were a knock off brand, we we had to tape some together because it was almost impossible without taping them! I would recommend getting actual Dixie cups to make this easier. We still had a lot of fun with this challenge. You could try out other items for this stacking STEM challenge!
