STEM in Year 1 & 2

Year 1: Students learned about daily and seasonal changes in our weather and how they affect everyday life. cxplored weather symbols, interpret Indigenous weather symbols, & read simple weather maps. Learned about ‘temperature’, and different thermometers, made their own tool for recording temperature and used it to physically act out possible weather scenarios. Classified the wind into categories based on its strength from calm to violent storms and constructed simple ‘wind vines’ to check wind directions.

Year 2: Students learned that water is essential for life and a very precious resource found on Earth. Explored and shared experiences of water use at school and at home and explained that the ‘Water Cycle’ is a complex system which includes many different processes. Demonstrated what happens to rain falling on different surfaces, shared their understanding of sources of water, how it is collected, purified, filtered, and disinfected so it is safe to drink, and transported through underground pipes to homes, schools, and businesses.  ​
