Market day 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 MnMs for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because we had more firm materials.

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 Bath bombs. Here's a picture.

Reflection 

My highlight from this PBL was what I contributed to PBL. I brought in half of the ingredients. My team worked really well with making the Bath Bombs.

Next time I would keep things the same because I wouldn't want the teamwork to change because we all worked as hard as we could.
I hope you enjoyed the market day.
Did you buy any bath bombs?
