STEM CHALLENGE in Holmes Class!
We have been set a task in our class this week from no other than Jack (he is good friends with Miss Wade apparently!)
Jack wanted us to design, make and evaluate something that would safely bring the golden egg down from the top of the beanstalk. We followed these steps:
- Initial discussions about what materials to use
- Designing and labelling our model
- Gathering of materials
- Making our models
- Testing our models
- Evaluation
We have loved becoming inventors for the day!
