Hello EveryOne! I hope everyone is well. I have something very exciting to tell you, for the rest of term we will doing something called STEmTales. Stemtales are challenges I give to you based on a fairtale

This week your challenge is to build a house that would stop the Big Bad Wolf, remember he will try and huff, and puff and blow down your house. You need to your knowledge of properties to stop him. 

Remember to test your house by trying to blow it down. 
Please send me a video or record what happens :)

GoldiLocks and Three Bears Challenge STEM

Click on the video to listen to Goldilocks and the Three Bears

You challenge is to design the perfect bed for Goldilocks. 

Think of the properties you would want your bed and pillows to have, for example soft, warm, and fluffy. Maybe think of properties you wouldn’t want your bed to have such as hard, lumpy, and cold. I have included some materials mats to help inspire you.

Make a bed for Goldilocks with materials you have around the house.

​Test your bed using a teddy bear or a doll. Make sure your doll or teddy can fit in the bed and they are warm and look comfortable in their bed.

Hi Everyone! thank you for your fantastic work this term! This week, in S.T.E.M you can pick an activity from the matrix, or an activity in S.T.E.M. TALES you haven't finished. I have also included a video for you to watch, it's of a rube goldberg machine I made using kinetic energy.
