STEAM

For the past few weeks our class Te Ngahere has been doing a STEAM challenge. We were learning to use the scientific method. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. For STEAM we have been making hoop planes. We had to make a normal hoop plane and a modified hoop plane in buddies. We first had to write the question, hypothesis and the method on how we are going to test the planes. When we were done we had to make the normal hoop plane. Then we had to do ten tests each (I do ten then my buddie does ten). Once we had tested that plane we wrote up our results on how far they flew. Then we made our modified plane, we tested that ten times as well. We wrote up our results for the modified plane. We had a lot of fun doing this STEAM challenge I hope we get to do another one this year.
