Previous Puzzles are here.

 


Welcome to sTEm-at-work !  We are in our third year of puzzles and as promised, this year we are going to include answers!   The plan is to present a puzzle one month and then an answer with a suggested thread of how the puzzle can be linked to a science or math lesson the next month.  The hope is that you will use the FLATE Focus Blog capabilities to expand on that thread during the month before the next puzzle.
