In this STEM Hour recording, we explore the transformative power of inquiry-based STEM projects in early learning through the lens of two exceptional child-led projects: “Ramps and Pathways” & “Bungawitta – building a possum house”. Our guest speakers are Christy-Lee Antonas from Hensman Street Elementary (WA) and Karen Hugo from KU Mayfield Preschool (NSW).
Hensman Street Elementary was awarded the 2022 Little Scientists STEM Award (WA) for their project “Ramps and Pathways”, which was inspired by their children’s love of playing with loose parts. The project provided an opportunity to deepen children’s thinking about ramps, pathways, gradients, speed, weight, and many other STEM concepts. It involved an excursion to Perth Zoo and foreshore and corresponding with the creators of the “Treehouse” book series: Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton.
The children at KU Mayfield Preschool embarked on their project “Bungawitta – building a possum house”. Their outstanding project work included researching what possums eat, talking to a possum expert, and designing prototypes. Finally, the children used their woodwork skills to build a possum house!
By exploring these fascinating projects, you’ll gain knowledge about:
This is an essential recording for early childhood educators and early primary teachers who are keen to embark on their first inquiry-based STEM project, further develop their skills and knowledge in this area, and/or gain inspiration for their next project.
After watching, learn about how to become certified as a Little Scientists House, which involves running and documenting an inquiry-based project. Learn more about becoming a certified Little Scientists House.
