Year 1s interested in how food and packages are processed and delivered. We ordered some popcorn from @UberEats and loved watching all the steps and tracking our delivery. Next step is to make our very own Canterbury Eats in #DiscoveryLearning!

Busy day today in the lolly factory learning all about collaboration, communication, simple machines, capacity, sequencing and classifying. #discoverylearning #playbasedlearning @CanterburyPrSc #PrimarySTEMchat

[Lucy Ellis @lucymsinclair]

Learning all about telling the time, duration and directional language by creating our very own train network in #Discoveylearning today! @CanterburyPrSc @metrotrains #playbasedlearning

We are crazy about ice cream in Year 1! We explored sequencing and states of matter by making our own ice cream in a bag today! Our next step is perfecting our own recipe and exploring temperatures and melting points. 🍦 🧊 @CanterburyPrSc #discoverylearning

The inconsistent nature of Australian climate policy cannot be fully explained by looking at which political party was in government at the time. A collection of moments over the last decade will offer insight into how we lack the leadership needed to cap our carbon emissions.

Prep students learning directional language as they test and fix their code while playing drone twister in Discovery Learning today @gotynker @ParrotEducation #playbasedlearning #discoverylearning #STEM

[Emma Ross @emilyemmaross]

More authentic opportunities for writing and maths in #DiscoveryLearning today 🏓 #playbasedlearning

[Lisa Box @lisa_m_box]

Students designing, planning and conducting their own experiments; to investigate ocean waves and density in Discovery Learning 🌊#discoverylearning #STEM #DeepLearning

Enjoying the sunshine in Discovery Learning today. Building, testing, fixing, mixing, exploring, creating and engineering in the mud kitchen. ☀️@CanterburyPrSc @emilyemmaross @lisa_m_box

Book Week 2019 🐛

[Lucy Ellis @lucymsinclair]

Challenging the alternative conception of ‘clouds cry’ through exploring precipitation. All the while rocking our Book Week costumes!

[Lucy Ellis @lucymsinclair]

Linking Coding and Literacy. First we sequenced The Three Little Pigs. Then we used #scratchjr to animate our retell. We created algorithms for each character and focused on testing and debugging our code. @emilyemmaross @lisa_m_box #primarySTEMchat

Thank you and your daughter for visiting Kate! So wonderful to meet you both! We can’t wait to put all we learnt to use on our own 3D printers!

[Kate Fox 💎🦴 @Engineeringkate]

Had a great time visiting @CanterburyPrSc today to talk to the grade 5/6s about 3D printing and biomedical engineering. Thanks for the invite @lucymsinclair Sorry no photo to share...too busy talking!

@DwanPrice @TuringTumble @emilyemmaross ooo this could be cool!

[Lucy Ellis @lucymsinclair]

A6: We had so many valuable connections by reaching out on Twitter. Here are just a few brilliant women of STEM who visited us this week. @JacquelineTate_ @JessHolien @DwanPrice @Engineeringkate @DrTinyTaps. @samkbarton7 #PrimarySTEMchat

[Emma Ross @emilyemmaross]

Prep and Year 4 @CanterburyPrSc students very lucky to get a visit from @samkbarton7 for #scienceweek - students loved looking at mosquitos, leaves and brain cells through the microscope and learning about the importance of collaboration in #STEM careers 👩‍🔬

[Lucy Ellis @lucymsinclair]

A2: We do Science Question of the Week 🧪 🧫 #PrimarySTEMChat

[Emma Ross @emilyemmaross]

Happy #NationalScienceWeek! Every week we pose a #science question & students explain their understanding via video on #seesaw, we then spend the week exploring the concept before they have an opportunity to change their answer & justify why. Here are our last 3 questions 👩‍🔬🤖💥

[Lucy Ellis @lucymsinclair]

@claireseldon_ed I want to post pictures so much but there are way to many students to hide their faces with emojis 😂

[Lucy Ellis @lucymsinclair]

A1: We organised female STEM professionals to come and visit each year level for Science Week. So far we have had Mechanical Engineers, Neurobiologists, Biomedical Engineers, Seismologists and more to come. #youcantbewhatyoucantsee

@chapmansar @standouted @rachaellehr @standouted yes!! 😂😂

[Lucy Ellis @lucymsinclair]

Hi All! Lucy from Melbourne. Providing students with experiences to challenge their own conceptions though experiments and observations. Experiencing that ah-ha moment is one of the best parts of being a teacher! #PrimarySTEMChat
