This week we have been working in small groups to complete our STEM challenge. We had criteria that we had to follow and our challenge was linked to our learning in Social Studies. Our challenge was to build a boat in the style of the early explorers (1500's) to Canada using only the supplies provided. The boat had to float, have a flag, have a sail and hold 100 gold coins. We worked through the STEM process of Ask, Plan, Create and Evaluate. Students showed great perseverance, amazing creative thinking, wonderful communication skills and fantastic optimism. They also used their critical thinking skills to evaluate how their plans worked. So much fun!
