STEM Homework Challenge

Our challenge was to invent something to make our world a better place. Here is what we came up with.

Miss McVitie – I am impressed with all the hard work and time families put into this homework challenge. Well done, you have come up with some really imaginative ideas.

I invented something called ‘Shout a Light’. Whenever someone leaves the room it will shout “Have you switched the light off”.


I invented a pretend elephant to protect elephants from dying from poachers. When a poacher tries to take the tusk off, they get covered in explosive die pack in the colour red.


I invented something called ‘Photo Voltaic’ to generated light, heat and clean water for 3rd world countries.


We invented a poster to raise awareness for people to stop dropping litter and recycle it.


I invented an app called ‘Pollution is Pointless’ to encourage people to do things that reduces pollution instead of contributing to it.


I came up with an invention called ‘Imogen’s Bee Saver’ to try and save the bees.

 


 

I invented a nature bin to stop people from dropping litter.

 


 

I researched the five R’s for recycling.

 


 

We invented ‘Ellie 2000’ to stop poachers killing animals for their ivory.


We invented the ‘Auto-Picker’ to stop pollution caused by naughty people dropping litter.


I want people to stop killing animals. We don’t need them for food because we can eat fruit and veg.


I made a poster to tell people not to use cars, planes and trains as much to reduce pollution.


I made little feeding bags for cows to reduce methane gas produced.


I invented something called the FRC (Floating Rubbish Car) that goes in the ocean picks up litter on a con and it scoops up the rubbish and puts into into a recycling bin when back on land.


I invented eco-friendly flying cars because road traffic is a big problem in our world.


We invented The Tree Thingamigigy 1000. It cleans out greenhouse gases.

Science – Materials

In Science, we are learning about materials. We were finding out what everything is made of – atoms.

Jack C – I enjoyed learning about atoms, solids and liquids.

Alfie – I liked the solids and liquids activity because I learned a lot and really enjoyed it.

Olivia – We learned about atoms.

Emilio – Atoms are very small, we can’t even see them.

Fionn – We learned about atoms. Everything is made up of atoms.

George – I liked working in a group to put the cards under solids and liquids.

Max – I liked playing the atoms game outside because we had to make funny shapes.

We went outside to play a game all about atoms.

We looked at solids and liquids and sorted items under the two headings.

We then explored when something is both a solid and a liquid – Oobleck.

You can make this simply using 2 parts cornflour to 1 part water.
