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 Mathis
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 Mn-Ms for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because I was better the second time because i already had a go to practice
In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and 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 we made bubble lava lamps it wasn't not eatable and they were colorful
Reflection
My highlight from this PBL was coming up with all the ideas because it fun to think of what to do and its exciting
Next time I would make something different because I like to challenge myself next time because that was easy.
Have you ever made lava lamps and sold them?
