About this STEM integrated learning scenario

This learning scenario about environment focuses on the topic of pollution. When implemented in the class, this lesson will allow students to study the consequences of pollution on the environment and consequently on our lives. Students will also reflect on possible solutions. They will discuss and reflect on everyday issues and habits to adopt, such as recycling, and students will be asked to look for information online. Besides, they will be able to contextualize the problem and examine it from an interdisciplinary angle as they will take part into activities that include statistics, reading, creating graphs and represent information with drawings and posters using various artistic techniques. Lastly, the robotics activities will improve the students’ design and programming skills and make them think about how modern technology can help men in real problems.

Catapults in STEM and their historical use

A catapult, is a mechanism used to forcefully propelling stones, spears, or other projectiles.we will examine certain functionalities according to principles from Physics, how is the projectile of the catapult measured according to mathematics principles and also how we can extract our experimental data during the subject of Informatic Technology in our classes.

Energy resources in the household

The aim of this Learning Scenario is to make students aware of how the knowledge they acquired in STEM subjects like Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry is applied in everyday life. For this reason, in order to provide a concrete example, we examine the cost of energy consumption in students’ households, the impact of various energy sources on the environment and the processes through which a source of energy can be converted to another one.

The pollution and the Greenhouse effect

We are living in a very friendly planet which looks like paradise. We all know that in our solar system there are some planets and satellites situated almost at the same distance from the sun but on which life is impossible because of the climate conditions determined by their atmosphere and the greenhouse effect. In this STE(A)M integrated learning scenario we will bring greenhouse effect and climate change in the classroom using IBSE.
