  • We have looked at what we have to do make our podcast so far we haven’t  got any music those who have offered to do it will bring in short recordings next pupil group.
  • We have continued to finish what we did last pupil group.
  • Most people are looking at logos and other things that will make our podcast stand out.
  • Some people are downstairs asking p2’s about what they want to know about STEM.
  • Once the music has been created I plan to edit it and put beats into it.

We have discussed our roles and have brainstormed ideas .

We have sent out people to survey other groups

And we went down to the p4 stem group.

  • We listened to an example of a child’s podcast about mental health.
  • We discovered what we need to do / keep to if we want to create one:
  • Talking -explaining everything
  • Sticking to the subject
  • Intro/outro – music -name – people
  • Factual info
  • Interviews / questions

STEM news to share in our podcast:

  • Quantum entanglement – it is not possible for two particles to be linked together as they would need to be going at the speed of light however we have found that entanglement particles have linked in 2017.
  • In Morocco people have found fossils of a terrifying sea lizard that lived millions of years ago.
  • Space experts in China are in a race to build a moon base.
  • Two particles of anything has never touched. So technically we’ve never touched anything in our life!
  • In  early 2023, NASA, built a X-59 plane it designed to break a sound barrier quicker than creating a huge sonic boom.

STEM people group 28 of October

Today we explored ways to make a floating ghost experiment with magnets.

It was very hard.

We all tried it and wow it was difficult even when we knew who to do it.

Only a couple of people succeeded this challenge others failed but it was fun and challenging.

We figured out the stronger the magnet the better.
