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 M&M for the team. We were
much better at the second challenge because everybody had great ideas then.

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 we made bath salts in packets and all different colours.
Reflection
My highlight from this PBL was to make some thing for the market day. First we were
going to make gas balloons. Then some one came up with a other idea it was bath
salts and we started to make the bath salt we made 36 packets. It was a successful
stall because we sold lots.

Next time I would try harder .
