In Te Ngahere on the first day back at school we did a steam challenge STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Our goal was to make a free standing object with limited equipment. My group was Ātāahua and Autumn. Our steam challenge was to build a free standing newspaper tower out of two sheets of newspaper and 30 cm of tape. Autumn and Ātāahua held together the tower and I taped it together. When it was time to measure our came to 75 centimetres and the winning tower came to 1 meter 18 centimetres. Having a wide base made my groups tower work well because the wide base made the tower more stable. Trying to get our tower to stand up without falling over was very challenging. I think what we could have done better was to communicate better and listen to each other's ideas.
Kia ora Aj My name is Emma and I am in your class Te Ngahere. I really liked your blog post about Amazing free standing Steam. I liked the way you said what you were learning and what Steam meant. You brought me back to when I was doing this.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you find hard about making the paper tower. Blog you later Aj.
ReplyDeleteTo AJ. Hi my name is Ashlyn. I like your blog about top 5 safety tips because it would be helpful if someone didn't know.
It reminds of when Tracy came to Paihia School. Next time you could maybe and add more.
