STEM with Mr Will Greenwood
Grade Five
During Term Three, students will be learning about space in STEM. We will be using the Inquisitive platform to explore planets, the solar system, and the role of Earth within it. Students will collaborate using Chromebooks to complete interactive activities and share their findings with classmates. We will also be conducting hands-on experiments to help understand key concepts, such as how gravity works and the scale of our solar system. By the end of the term, students will present their learning through a creative project, demonstrating their understanding of space and our planet’s place among the stars.
Grade Six
During Term Three, students will be learning about natural disasters in STEM. We will be using the Inquisitive platform to investigate how major weather events, such as cyclones, floods and bushfires, can affect people and the Earth’s surface. Students will collaborate on Chromebooks to research, analyse and present their findings. We will also be conducting experiments to understand the science behind these events, such as simulating erosion and modelling the effects of strong winds. By the end of the term, students will create a detailed project showcasing their understanding of natural disasters and their impact on communities and the environment.
