Description
Specifications
  • It is widely recognised that we need a next generation of engineers and scientists to meet the challenges of the future
  • In primary school, we need to inspire and prepare today’;s pupils to become tomorrow’;s innovators
  • The STEM Projects series provides opportunities for pupils to creatively apply skills and knowledge in science, design and technology, mathematics and digital technology, whilst completing short‐ or long‐term projects
  • By their very nature, these projects develop skills in communication, problem‐solving, reasoning, leadership and resilience
  • Each set of cards contains a range of topics linked to the science national curriculum, but their variety also allows them to be successfully incorporated into a cross‐curricular approach to topic teaching
  • Pressures on the curriculum often mean that it is difficult to ensure breadth and coverage of design and technology
  • Each topic contains key learning objectives from the design and technology national curriculum and covers contemporary environmental themes such as recycling and horticulture
  • Each set of projects are cross‐referenced to the design and technology strands of learning: cooking and nutrition; construction/structures; recycling; sheet materials including textiles; mechanisms; and horticulture
  • Each project allows pupils to work creatively in small teams, using effective communication and collaboration skills, to plan, design, make and evaluate a thoughtful and innovative solution to a given task
  • When satisfied with their solutions, pupils are given a range of ways to showcase and discuss their designs, explaining how science was used throughout the project
  • The STEM Projects series contains:Two introductory cards explaining STEM education, including: time allocations for using the cards; tips for planning, differentiating, assessing and supporting teaching and learning; and classroom and resource management ideas;
  • One card with icons, explaining each step of the designing and making process, in child‐friendly language;
  • One card explaining each science strand; how the projects can be linked to design and technology, digital technology and mathematics skills; and providing an overview of each project contained within the strand, including the task and specific design and technology strands of learning;
  • Six short‐term projects and one long‐term project for each learning strand of biological sciences, chemical sciences, environmental sciences and physical sciences; and
  • Six copies of each project to allow for small‐group use
  • The projects also contain opportunities for effective use of digital technology, including movie making, presentations, scanning QR codes and desktop (Internet) research
  • If the projects are chosen carefully, these sets of cards are an effective way of delivering the design and technology national curriculum
  • Some ‘;stand out’; projects include:Design and make a miniature golf course to explain different types of forces (Year 2, physical sciences);
  • Design and make a gas‐powered boat (Year 5, chemical sciences);
  • Design and create a drought‐tolerant garden (Year 6, environmental sciences);
  • Design and make a model volcano village to show the effects of lava flow (Year 4, environmental sciences);
  • Design and make a garden to grow a radish from seed to harvest (Year 2, biological sciences);
  • Design and make your own healthy fruit yoghurt (Year 4, biological sciences);
  • Design and make an aluminium Eiffel Tower (Year 1, chemical sciences); and
  • Design and make a floating pirate ship (Foundation, chemical sciences)
  • Projects in the Year 2 Box include:Guess Which Living Thing
  • Non‐Living Tree
  • Birds Nest
  • A Butterfly's Life Stages
  • Animal Matching Card Game
  • Baby Animals Calendar
  • The Life of Humans Film
