Jonathan Chippendall (Dr.Chips) has been posting ‘how to’ STEM videos weekly (almost daily) on his Youtube channel.
One example is about digital coding and creating your own quiz:
Dr Chips is involved in the Great Science Share (see post in STEM Learning Activities) and will post a weekly video based on the theme….the first one was based on the theme Dawns Chorus
These are great videos to generate ideas and informative too.
The Great Science Share takes place on the 16th June and it would be great to have as many West Lothian pupils signed up and taking part.
The information on how to sign up is here: https://www.greatscienceshare.org/getinvolved2020
There are weekly themes released on a Monday- the first was released on the 4th of May linked to Dawn Chorus.
Or if you’d prefer to join in the Great Science Groove Along, film yourself carrying out the dance and upload before the 5th of June.
If you would like to find out more about a scientists work or what skills an engineer uses every day, ask a question on twitter using the hashtags #GreatSciShare and #Askaquestion and a STEM Ambassador will try to give you an answer as soon as possible!
Some West Lothian schools have already signed up to take part but if you register and share your question and learning on the 16th June…please copy in @WL_STEM on twitter too and we will share/celebrate your investigation.
INspired is a learning space for young people that has been created to motivate purposeful, agentic learning through engaging challenges. The blog link is here:
Follow the INspire team on twitter @StayINspiredWL and use the hashtag #aspire2inspireWL to share your work….or email it to StayINspiredWL@westlothian.org.uk.
You can ask your teacher to share it too
This week’s challenge is using Paul Tyler’s Up close and personal photos.
Paul has used a microscope to take photos of every day items up close….can you guess what they are?
Take a look and leave your guess in the comments below:
Clue: they are both used in the morning
We will leave another clue on Wednesday……we will reveal the answer on Friday!
The fantastic team at SSERC have created a home learning page here:
Every Tuesday they share a new ‘how to’ video with a list of resources you will need to help carry out the learning, along with what to do.
For example- this video shares an investigation in Friction by creating a balloon hovercraft.
All videos launch live at 10am on a Tuesday and previous ones can be caught up here:
