Cold Lands - STEM carousel
As part of our new topic, Cold Lands, we engaged in a series of hands-on STEM activities to explore, experiment, and deepen our understanding.
As we learn about animals that inhabit cold environments, we investigated how polar bears stay warm in freezing temperatures.
Inspired by our focus book, ‘Lost and Found’, we explored the size and strength of boats to determine how we could safely carry the characters back home from the South Pole.
We also conducted experiments with ice, testing different materials and equipment to see which could speed up the melting process.
Finally, we explored how salt affects buoyancy, discovering how it can make objects float and gaining a better understanding of saltwater density.
The class worked brilliantly together and had so much fun as budding scientists! 🧑🔬
