Projects like this @microbit_edu inchworm are a great way to entice students into the world of #coding and #robotics all whilst having fun. These kind of projects prove that you don't need expensive equipment to implement #STEAM into the classroom. #edtech#aussieED#creativity
Thanks @MichMcphers23 for the #UNSDGS Sustainability compass (nature,economy, wellbeing, society) display. My students enjoy using this thinking tool when analysing #GlobaGoals.
Welcome to #PrimarySTEMchat this week where weâll be chatting about STEM Clubs and extra-curricular programs!
To start, please introduce yourself, where youâre from and show us a GIF to describe your week!
A1: With inquiry learning my Year 3 students are encouraged to challenge the status quo and replace it with the Wâs: why, What ifâŚ, who decided this, How long has this been occurring & when will it change? . #PrimarySTEMChat#studentagency
Q1: âThe important thing is to never stop questioning.â ~ Albert Einstein.
Describe some ways you can apply this to your STEM teaching & learning.

I enjoyed listening to @Ollie_Lovell discuss the #CognitiveLoadTheory. Itâs so important that teachers modify their instruction to ensure learning is authentic and that the working memory of Ss isnât overloaded. Check it out! #EdTech#AussieED@TERPodcast

A5: Courtesy of @MattHawke11 students design their own playground, theme park and calculate the amount of coffee over various periods of time their teachers drink as well as the cost đ. #PrimarySTEMChat
A4: By challenging their current mindset and mode of deduction, students are able to develop critical thinking, communication skills and pursue alternate methods to find solutions to problems. #PrimarySTEMChat
A3: Explore open-ended activities from symmetry to money, allow students to conduct hands on experiments whereby they work collaboratively, address what went wrong/worked well and devise strategies to enhance the learning experience. #PrimarySTEMChat
A2: Link STEM investigations to studentsâ prior knowledge and experiences as well as their current unit of work. Apply the investigation to studentsâ contexts and equip them to be solution focused. #PrimarySTEMChat#studentagency
