STEM in P3
Primary 3 have had a fantastic week taking part in STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths)
On Monday they carried out their own experiment called “Flying Film Canisters”. They mixed water and vitamin C tablets to create a mini explosion, propelling their canister up in to the air. They wrote a science report and discussed their hypothesis.
On Tuesday they made their own balloon rockets and raced them against each other.
On Wednesday they had two visitors in to speak to them about science in the real world and what jobs you could do within the field of science. The children got to make their own parasites and investigate what happens to them when you add the correct medicine.
In addition they got the chance to meet some animals and discuss the job of a Zoologist. Some children grasped the opportunity to hold a snake!
