Children enjoy and are enthusiastic about STEM at Port Erroll. Through a variety of pupil-initiated and directed challenges, investigations and activities, pupils develop a range of skills and a wider breath of knowledge that will help to provide foundations for their potential future careers.
Based on learning experiences and outcomes, pupils decide questions (some topic-based and some discrete) to be answered by investigation and study, developing planning and investigative skills, supported by mathematical knowledge and understanding. Pupils decide and use a range of resources and materials to complete their challenge and present their results and conclusions.
Below are examples of STEM activities taking place across the school.
What if we designed and built a route from the garden to the school without touching the ground?
Testing equipment to increase the movement of the ball.
What different 3-D shapes were used to build Slains Castle?
Using detailed diagrams when designing a rocket...
... the result of the design process.
What shape makes the paper aeroplane fly furthest? Understanding air resistance and aerodynamics.
How high will we raise the ramp before the wheel moves? Understanding friction at work.
