Market day

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 MnMs for the team. We were much better at
the second challenge because  we were better because we had more practice and knew
each other better.

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  candles we thought it would be fun. 2 weeks before the market  we still had
not made any candles we were all stressed out but we got it done we only had 9 candles
but that's okay. we made marshmallow men to sell too.

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was selling the candles it was so much fun and  a good
experience for me

Next time I would  make something a little easier it was a bit hard but it was fun.

Have you ever made something more a Market Day?
