Term Four Project Based Learning

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.

S for Science

T for Technology

E for Engineering

A for the Arts

and M for Math's

Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.

Then make a table that was able to balance M&Ms for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because the materials was great we used the news paper as table legs it was very stable

In Literacy we learned to write up science experiment to write a technology report using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.

How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.

My team made this…

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL (project base learning)was working as a team and  Next time I
would try to make the bath bombs less crumbly
