P6 and P7 STEM Challenges

Some of the children in P6 and P7 have been participating in Mrs Hay and Alex's STEM Challenges.  They have been given problems to solve and a mixture of resources with which to solve these problems.  They have been using their thinking skills, team work skills and STEM (that's Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) knowledge to create models in answer to the problems posed.  This first challenge was to create a rolling car that was wind powered.  There was a lot of thinking going on and some very interesting inventions!  The children had great fun and learned lots from this first challenge.
