Let's Keep The Ocean Clean

What's happening?

Straw and paper cup act as a mechanism for opening and closing the gripper. This mechanism is to ensure ease of use and effectiveness in picking up various types of rubbish.

The mechanism represents the cleanup tool in ocean, to clean the rubbish on and in the ocean.

What's Happens To Our Coral?

Coral and algae depend on each other to live.

The algae is the main source of food for the coral and gives the coral its colour.

The coral provides the algae with shelter and nutrients.

When corals are stressed by warm ocean currents, it causes the algae to leave, thus turning the coral pale or white. (When ocean water is too warm, it causes the algae to leave the coral, so the coral turns pale or white.)

Our experiment shows how warm water can change the colour of the coral.

Thermochromic pigments are a type of colour-changing pigment that respond to changes in temperature.

They are designed to change colour or become transparent when exposed to heat, and then revert back to their original colour as they cool down.

Water Flow

What's happening?

Ocean currents are horizontal movement in the ocean, like a huge river flowing from one place to another.

This is sometimes caused by difference in temperature, like cold waters to warm waters and warm waters to cold waters.

Crystal Coral

What's happening?

Corals are fascinating animals that form reefs. These reefs provide food and habitat for about 25 percent of the world's fishes.

Coral are made up of hundreds to thousands of tiny coral creatures called polyps which secretes a hard outer skeleton of limestone (calcium carbonate) that attaches either to rock or the dead skeletons of other polyps.

We can make some beautiful corals by using Borax solution and colourful pipe cleaners.

As the temperature of a Borax powder solution drops, Borax molecules attaches itself to the pipe cleaner to form a solid or crystals.

As more molecules, are attached to it, the crystals become bigger, in a distinct pattern.

Catch The Big One

What's happening?

Fishing rods are poles to catch fish. It has a reel (silicone tube) that you can wind your string on and by placing a hook (magnet) at the other end, you can catch the fish.
The reel helps the string to move smoothly. Let us make our own fishing rod!

STEAM is an educational philosophy that originated in the U.S. government to strengthen education in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics from kindergarten to secondary (between the ages of 4 to 18).

Today, STEAM education is the most important education system in the global education community, which is interdisciplinary and project-based system learning. This experience will deepen and strengthen students' understanding of the concepts in various field while inspiring their imagination and finding solutions.

STEAM education has 8 characteristics.

First: interdisciplinary. It means that educators are in Steam Education, they will focus on specific issues, applying multidisciplinary interrelated knowledge to solve practical problems.

Second: fun. Emphasize that multidisciplinary knowledge being integrated into challenging activities close to students life. The activities designed can inspired children's learning motivation and increases their sense of accomplishment in the process of solving problems.

Third experience. STEAM education not only advocates acquiring of abstract knowledge through self-study or through teachers, but also emphasizes on students' hands-on, brainstorm and participation in the learning process.

Fourth: situational. STEAM does not teach students isolated, abstract knowledge of the subjects, but emphasizes on restoring knowledge to the abundant life, combined with interesting and challenging problems in life, and completes the teaching through solving of students problems

Fifth: collaborative. The collaborative nature of STEAM education requires the design of the learning environment should include two elements of "collaboration" and "conversation" advocated by constructivism: let students work in a small group to collect and analyze learning materials, propose and verify hypotheses, and evaluate learning outcomes at the same time, let learners discuss how to complete the specified learning tasks through conversations.

Sixth: design. Through design, students can better understand the completed and solve open problems. In this process, they learn knowledge, exercise their abilities, and improve their STEAM literacy.

Seventh: empirical. The empirical nature of Science is one of the basic and important feature that distinguishes Science from other subjects. STEAM education encourages students to design their works based on scientific principles, test hypotheses, discover and develop solutions based on evidence.

Eighth: technology enhancement. STEAM education emphasizes that students should have

a certain degree of technical literacy. Students should understand the application and development process of technology, and have the ability to analyze how new technologies affect themselves and the surrounding environment.

Coral Fish

What's happening?

There are various species of fish in the ocean, with different sizes, shapes and colours.

Air-dry dough is used to mould and shape a 3-D fish on paper cut-outs.

Air-dry dough is made from flour, baking soda, glue and water.

When exposed to air, the water content begins to evaporate which causes the dough to dry out and harden over time.

STEAM 是一种教育理念,起源于美国政府,以加强美国K12关于科学、技术、工程、艺术以及 数学的教育。

如今STEAM教育是全球教育界最看重的教育制度,即跨学科和项目制学习(Project-Based Learning)。这体验学习能让孩子们对各领域的概念加深印象及了解,同时可以激发他们的想象力和找 到解决问题的方案。

STEAM教育分为8大特征:

一、跨学科。它意味着教育工作者在STEAM教育中,将重心放在特定问题上,利用多学科相互关联的知识解决实际问题。

二、趣味性,强调在实施过程中把多学科知识融于有趣,具有挑战性,与学生生活贴近,活动设计能激发孩子的学习动机,在解决问题的过程中提高孩子的成就感。

三、体验性。STEAM教育不仅主张通过自学或教师讲授习得抽象知识,更强调学生动手、动脑, 参与学习过程。

四、情境性。它不是教授学生孤立、抽象的学科知识,而强调把知识还原于丰富的生活,结合生活中有趣和挑战的问题,通过学生的问题解决并完成教学。

五、协作性。STEAM教育的协行性是要求学习环境的设计,需包括建构主义倡导的“协作”和 “会话”两要素:让学生以小组为单位,共同搜集和分析学习资料、提出和验证假设、评价学习成果: 同时,学习者通过会话商讨如何为成规定的学习任务。

六、设计性。学生通过设计可以更好地理解完成了的工作,从而解决开放性问题。在这个过程中, 学生学习知识,锻炼能力、提高STEAM素养。

七、实证性。实证性作为科学的本质(Nature of Science)的基本内涵之一,是科学区别于其他学科的重要特征,STEAM教育委促进学生按照科学的原则设计作品,基于证据验证假设、发现并得出 解决问题的方案。

八、技术增强性。STEAM教育强调学生要具备一定技术素养,学生要了解技术应用及发展过程, 具备分析新技术如何影响自己和周边环境的能力。

Just Paddle

What's happening?

When you wind the rubber band up, it has potential energy (stored energy). When you release the rubber band, the paddle spins, pushing on the water, or exerting a force.

Since the paddle pushes on the water, the water also pushes back on the paddle, pushing the boat forward (Newton's third law of motion).

In other words, spinning the paddle of the boat pushes the water, and the water helps the boat to move forward.

The potential energy stored in the rubber band is converted to kinetic energy (moving energy) as the boat moves forward.
