Primary 5 STEM Challenge
3rd Jun 2024
Primary 5 have been learning all about ‘Extreme Weather’ in their World Around Us topic.
We engaged in a class discussion about floods, and what causes them. We also talked about the impacts of floods on different countries around the World.
Following this, we participated in our own STEM challenge. We worked in groups to create a flood barrier that would protect our ‘house’ from water. Once we had constructed our flood barriers, we tested them out to see which designs could withstand the water for the longest time.
The winning team enjoyed a small treat from Miss Martin for their successful design👏🍫
