Bakulgons are all the rage in our room so the students have designed & built a two-storey stadium, including trap doors and ramps. They negotiated and worked together to write the rules #Discoverylearning #STEM #bakulgon

Investigating the five senses led to a discussion about people who cannot hear and how they communicate. Students loved signing their names and magic words to each other #Discoverylearning

The enthusiasm on this mat is contagious! What started as designing & building a fort, led to a complex Hot Wheels track. Great conversations full of ideas, modifications & collaboration #discoverylearning #studentengagement #hotwheels

[Karen Sutcliffe @karenesutcliffe]

Our students are obsessed with racing hoola hoops and wanted to test other wheels. Predicting, justifying and making connections between their experiences and new concepts #stem #discoverylearning
