STEM CLUBS WEEK- SUSTAINABILITY
This week marks the start of the STEM Clubs Week which starts today and has a theme of Sustainability. It is a free, online event for children and families and features different challenges, talks and webinars to take part in. It covers lots of different topics such as using sustainable food and energy sources and using clean water and air.
There are lots of different aspects to the week- there is the STEM Youtube Channel which features different Sustainability talks and activities, and there is even a competition to Design a Sustainability City. The deadline is Thursday so make sure you get started quickly! I have added links to all of these events below, including a timetable for the week so you can find out which talks and activities are going on when, and how to get involved. There will be 20 J2STARS available for every child that does a STEM activity and posts it onto their blog.
Have a great week and make sure you make the most of all the Science and Sustainability resources that are available to you!
Weekly Science Challenges
Each week I will be giving you a different Science Experiment OR Challenge to try out from the comfort of your own home. Learning about Science is an important part of your Home Learning and helps you to make sense of the world around you. Make sure you post the results of your Science Experiment to your class blog each week to gain extra j2 stars!
STEM SCIENCE LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Below I have added lots of different Science resources that come from the STEM Website. The Stem Website is a fantastic Science, Technology and Maths Resource which has many different Science lessons and Science Starter activities for you to try.
By clicking on the links below you can go to different parts of their website which has different activities and resources. One part of the website allows you to watch a Science video and then complete work on it afterwards, whereas the other link offers more practical activities and Science starters for you to take part in.
Whenever you complete any of these activities make sure you put it on your blog so I can give you lots of j2 stars. Please make sure you check out some of the activities as I am sure you will really enjoy them!
