How it works

This STEM exit ticket is for the end of a build or design task. Each slip has Name, Date and Challenge lines, then two lines under each of its three prompts.

Print the exit tickets

Print the exit tickets gives one Letter or A4 page. Cut it along the dashed lines into four slips.

An exit ticket for STEM at each stage of a build

Other slips follow a challenge from its first day to its last: the problem, best idea and next step; a sketch box with a materials list; three numbered trials, with room to add a fourth; four criteria to check Yes or Not yet; and a redesign slip that asks why the change works better.

For a science experiment

Three slips suit an experiment in place of a build. One asks what the student predicted, what happened and why. One asks what the group changed, kept the same and measured. One has lines for the numbers and what they show.

  • Type the challenge on the first slip's Challenge line before you print, and all four slips carry it.
  • The criteria slip prints four checks of ours. Type your own over them, such as a load the build must hold.
  • The last sheet is a filled-in sample from a made-up foil boat test.

Questions and answers

What goes on a STEM exit ticket?

Questions about the test, not the finished build: what the team tested, what failed and what they would change.

Is there a STEM exit ticket for kindergarten?

Yes. Draw what you built has an open box for a drawing and primary lines that start I made it better by. It prints two to a page.

Should each student fill in a slip, or each team?

Either. The first slip says we, so a team can hand in one between them. The team slip asks for my part in the build and an idea a teammate had, so each student fills in their own.

Exit tickets for a build or design challenge 9

  • Design criteria exit ticket, 4 checks: yes or not yet Four things to check about the design, each with a box for Yes and one for Not yet: does its job, uses only the materials allowed, held up in the test, improved after a test. A line at the foot asks what to fix first. Four slips to a page.
  • Design plan exit ticket with a sketch box and a materials list For the planning day: an open box to sketch the design and a ruled box to list the materials. Two half-page slips.
  • Draw what you built: STEM exit ticket for younger students For kindergarten to grade 2: an open box to draw the build and a box of primary lines that starts I made it better by. Two to a page.
  • Engineering design exit ticket: problem, idea, next step For the first day of a challenge: two lines each for the problem being solved, the team's best idea so far and the next step. Four slips to a page.
