STEM Activities from Mrs Mee

Hi All

Mrs Mee has been in touch. She says she is missing working with all of the children and she can’t wait to be back in the classroom but until that happens she has recreated a virtual classroom  to give the children some ideas which they can experiment and explore with!

She has created a bank of prerecorded activities which are accessible via Kids You Tube.

You Tube Tutorials 

She has created a range of short focussed activities (as tutorials) that children can get involved in using materials that you can find in and around the home.

The tutorials are all linked to the STEM curriculum.

The tutorials she has created so far focus on: Computer Aided Design, Mechanisms (joining materials and components to explore movement) and structures. They can be followed step by step, but she would encourage them to explore and experiment with size and materials etc.

She is adding a new tutorial every Monday.

Challenges

Every month she is planning on setting a challenge with a prize attached just to make it a little more engaging. This months challenge is to design and make the tallest freestanding structure, details of this can be found on The STEM Workshop, You Tube Channel

The children will find the challenge, the criteria and date the entry needs to be submitted. Entries to be submitted as either a photo or a video

Date of submission – Friday 29th May

Winner Announced – Monday 1st June
