My PBL (what we where selling at the 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 where had better team work and it was easy to make.

In Literacy we learned to write up Science Experiment 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 mini sling shots to play a game where you where you try to hit a painting
if you did you would win a prize like stress balls,lollies,Loom bands and you could buy
perfume.

Reflection:it was fun selling the staff at the market and seeing what there was at the
market and it was fun making the staff and testing and it was really fun.

My highlight from this PBL was selling the product.

Next time I would: do something different like cross bow
