STEAM Activities

STEAM Sharing

STEAM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths…because we learn better when we get a chance to imagine and create using new ideas. Rosebank Stage 3 students have been having a STEAM-tastic time putting water from our local catchment under the microscope. We collected a sample of water from our creek, then engaged in some microscopy to see if we could identify microorganisms. We used classification charts to create art works about fresh water microbes. As we wind up this topic, we’re all looking forward to exploring the high-tech gear that the Department will lend us next term as part of their STEMshare project. The project enables schools in rural and remote areas to access technologies like Virtual Reality and Robotics and next term we get our chance to see ‘what’s in the box’ and try out some whizz-bang gear.
