In this race against the clock students work as a team to build the highest tower possible out of dried spaghetti and marshmallows. The objective of this lesson is to explore structures and investigate what methods of building can make the tallest and strongest structure. By testing their prototype buildings, students will also have the opportunity to rebuild and alter their designs to improve them, giving an insight into the real-life processes of testing, redevelopment and prototyping that engineers and scientists use.

Metacognition questions to get students 'thinking about thinking'. This collection of resources can be used with whole class, groups or individuals. PDFs for easy printing or PPT/word files for editing. This is a comprehensive set of resources allowing teachers to select a depth that is right for their children - a flexible resource that can be used with a variety of age ranges. Get them talking about their thinking and explaining their methods and approaches to others. The bundle includes posters, PDF slides, chatting sticks, key ring resources and a 'meta menu'. The variety of styles of resources allows teachers to customise and personal the resource for individual classes. It give teachers a wealth of resources that can be used to support pupils in developing their metacognitive skills. Teachers can select specific questions or let pupils work through a range of questions in pairs or groups. Print out, laminate and cut up. The resources are broken into three areas: • Planning and understanding learning tasks – questions that help children to identify the problem, choose strategies, organise their thoughts, and predict outcomes. • Monitor thought processes during a learning task– questions that help children consider if their approach is effective, are on the right track, are any corrective measures needed. • Check outcomes – questions to help children evaluate the outcomes/learning objectives against specific criteria, consider what went well and how learning could be improved, consider the approach they took to achieving their goal and if it was effective. Answering questions such as : How did I do it? What method/strategy worked? What did I learn? Did my plan work out? Can I learn from my mistakes? Can I do better next time? This is a highly flexible tool that can be used with pupils of many ages via the approach the teacher takes, the type of questions selected and the depth of student thinking. For younger students, teachers can use the resources for whole class discussion and for older students the menu cards serve as useful reminders. There are specific files aimed at younger pupils. Plenty of strategies to share across different year groups and teachers in your school. Although you may not have the same fonts, I have included the files as powerpoint and word files (and some Publisher files) for easy editing. Also included are the equivalent PDF files which ensures that the formatting is kept as designed for attractive printing and ease of use. I hope the variety of file formats means that you will be able to customise the resources to suit you class as easily as possible. Printables suitable for literacy, maths, all subject areas - cross curricula. Build up student thinking skills across the year. Over 30 files.

These cards are designed to help you and your teaching assistants to improve your teacher talk. By simply changing the way we respond and question our students we can improve their learning and model how to develop a more inquisitive and probing vocabulary. The use of Socratic questioning creates an active classroom where learning is student-centered and inquiry- based. This form of questioning also facilitates long-term retention of information and advances the problem-solving skills of the students. * I cut these up, laminate, hole-punch and put onto a split ring. I have given them to teaching assistants and students to use. * You could print them off as posters to put up in class. *Print them small and stick into books or your planner.

This challenge is fantastic for not only using their problem solving skills, but their maths skills as well. This can be split into more than one lesson, with the planning element first and then the build challenge. It’s great for promoting team work and you can differentiate the groups so they can support each other.

1 lesson activity used in British Science Week with Year 7 and 8 science classes. Working together in teams, students build a bridge using straws, paper and tape; by adding a budget it encourages students to use their enterprise skills and consider which materials are most important. Monopoly money is used to allow students to control their budget and a “shop” is opened where they can purchase resources. Towards the end of the session, the shop is closed and students are then allowed to “sell” their resources to each other.

STEM Challenges is a fun way to incorporate science, technology and design into your classroom. This packet has four unique STEM challenges for each month of the school year. Each activity in this book includes step by step instructions, large challenge card with instructions, six page STEM mini-journal and a one page quick STEM printable. This bundle is discounted by $13.50 - three free months of STEM activities. The STEM, STEAM or Makerspace challenges are: August/September - Back to School October - Christopher Columbus Day and Halloween November - To be added December - To be added January - To be added February - To be added March - To be added April - To be added May - To be added There are two different options for your students to use to journal their STEM challenges. The first is a mini-booklet that they can make which has a half of piece of paper to work on each section of the design process. This option gives the students more room to work on the design process. The second option is a quick STEM printable you can use which saves paper, while giving students to develop their project using design methodology. Each option has its own benefits and you can use which one suits your needs. You can also attach both options into a stem notebook if you have one available for each student. These were made to be versatile to work as stand alone stem centers that require minimal supervision or a whole class activity. All artwork is original and create by myself.
