STEM Project The problem Lauren and Eric desperately want to join the local sailing club but they are too young. The man at the sailing club has invited Lauren and Eric to enter a model sailboat competition that is being held at the lake at the weekend. They are both very excited about entering the competition and are keen to build their sailboat. What materials should Lauren and Eric’s sailboat be made out of to help it stay upright and afloat while it sails in the wind? The task • Design and create a model sailboat that Lauren and Eric could use in their competition, choosing materials for each part based on the material’s properties. • Take digital photographs of the sailboat before, during and after the floating challenge to test the effectiveness of the materials chosen for each part. Important things you need to do! • You must work in pairs. • Your sailboat must have one hull, one deck, one mast, two sails and rigging to hold the sails in place. Project Brief Materials MATERIALS HAVE PROPERTIES • You must explain why you chose each material for each part, based on its properties. Viewing sample • Your sailboat must be able to hold five marbles. • You must use a different type of material for each part of the sailboat. • You must take a digital photograph of the sailboat before, during and after the floating challenge. 100 Science: A STEM APPROACH Infants 978-1-912760-14-5 Prim-Ed Publishing – www.prim-ed.com
Materials MATERIALS HAVE PROPERTIES STEM Project Project Steps Find out information Learn about the parts of a sailboat. Watch a video about the parts of a sailboat. Read books about sailboats. Look at a labelled diagram of a sailboat. Think about the properties of materials. Explore lots of different objects and test their properties. Read books about materials and their properties. Play an interactive game to test if objects are bendy/waterproof. Design, plan and collect resources Plan your sailboat. Draw a picture of your sailboat and label the parts. Draw/write the materials you need for each part. Collect the materials you need. Create Create your sailboat. Make each part of the sailboat with the planned materials. Make the sailboat and place five marbles inside it. Check and make changes Check that it is correct and you are happy with it. Viewing sample Check that all the important things on page 100 were done. Check that both partners are happy with it. Communicate Tell another group about your sailboat. Show photographs and the model sailboat to another group. Tell the other group about the materials used to make it. www.prim-ed.com – Prim-Ed Publishing 978-1-912760-14-5 Science: Infants A STEM APPROACH 101
