Bag the sweet resource for later use! Pupils learn about engineering design by developing a new, improved bag for candy from thin plastic sheets or from paper. The bags are to be visually appealing, but should also be functional. To complete the STEM activity, the class tests out their bags to find how much candy they hold by weight.
