Kakapo Class STEM Lesson

September 17, 2020

This term we have learnt about simple machines.  We enjoyed exploring and discovering the term, “levers”. Using our prior knowledge on levers we built our very own Popsicle Sticks Catapults during our weekly STEM lesson. We used technology and engineering skills to build our catapults; we used Maths to determine the supplies we needed, and we used science to test how far the catapults flung the marbles.  The children really enjoyed this activity which further developed their critical thinking, problem solving and collaborative skills.
