Market 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 M&M’S for the team.
We were much better at the second challenge because we could all use our different skills.

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 these candles↓↓↓↓

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was... selling and buying things from
different stands and getting sold out in 10 minutes.

Next time I would... make more candles with

my team to sell and do a buy two get one half price.
