@michelledennis @EtheridgeMaria Transitioning this paper prototype to laser cutter is exactly what I had in mind. Let’s us know how you go down the track

Using only cardboard, string and a hole punch stds incorporate their understanding of 3D shapes and surface area to design a sustainable pop-up toy that could be flat packed & easily posted to children in remote communities #designchallenge #STEMclub #LearningatOC #Mathematics

[Maria Forster @m4fstar]

Stds bring their ideas to life by storyboarding and frame by frame sketching

[Maria Forster @m4fstar]

Exploring the 12 Principles of animation, stds design a sequence of simplified images to develop a animation which will form the basis of an instructional tutorial educating younger peers on topic of interest #STEMclub #LearningatOC @FlipaClip

Stds had an amazing time with the Catapult challenge. It was designed to combine mental agility with collaboration and hands-on construction. #communicate #problemsolving #aerodynamics #trajectory

Students discuss chemistry concepts like saturation and solubility during #scienceweek21 as they work collaboratively to conduct their sugary crystal sparklers experiment #LearningAtOC #handsonscience

[Maria Forster @m4fstar]

Students identify and compare ways physical, chemical and biological weathering occur. Drawing on prior knowledge to discuss where they have seen weathering occur in their local area #learningatOC @Year4AtOC #ScienceWeek21
