The Great Deserted Island STEM Challenge Three

LI. We are learning to apply our knowledge of linear and weight measurement, buoyancy and scientific processes.

LI. We can plan, design and create a water tight container that can float.

LI. We can describe the problem what we wanted to happen and to share our ideas.

LI. We will test and discuss what happened, what worked and what we would do differently next time.

This week P2 Sir Harley Houndstooth III asked us to make a waterproof bottle or container that he could put a message in so that it wouldn’t get wet in water. We all came up with different designs in our groups and then decided which design we would use. We had 45 minutes to make and test our designs. Each design had to be water proof so that the message wouldn’t get wet and had to stay floating for 30 seconds. We are happy to report that all of our designs floated! In this challenge we were able to apply lots of the team work skills that we had learnt about from the previous challenge such as: good cooperation, team working skills and good listening skills.

We will keep you posted on how we get on in the next challenge!
