Room 5 STEM Challenge

12th Sep 2023

Today the boys and girls in Room 5 were presented with a STEM challenge. They had to create a boat which floats successfully in a tank of water and can carry a cargo of at least one pound coin. 

The children worked in groups to discuss their ideas and create their plans/ designs. They were presented with various materials and they had to decide together which would be the most suitable for the task. 

Tomorrow we will test them and we’ll also check out (just for fun) which boat holds the most pound coins before sinking. 

Super thinking skills and team work on display today and really wonderful creations! We can’t wait to test them tomorrow …unfortunately we ran out of time today 😊
