PBL

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.
S for Science
T for Technology
E for Engineering
A for the Arts
and M for Maths
Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.
Then; make a table that was able to balance Mn Ms for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because we worked together better and we made it stronger buy putting the straws in a triangle.
In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a technology report using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.
How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.

My team made 3D bubbles and we sold them for 50c each wand and it came with a recipe to make a bubble mixtures




My highlight from this PBL was that we sold some bubble wands and we made some money. Also that we had fun making the bubble wands and trying to make them.

Next time I would make something else because we didn't sell much and for a new challenge. Also  work better as a team buy all putting our ideas together to make something better.
