Swinging, running, jumping, falling: Physical forces are all part of the fun and children love to explore their effects.

Explore physical forces while leveraging, lifting, swinging and moving, and unleash your inner engineer. Are you an inventor or do you like to immerse yourself into step-by-step instructions? Discover how to playfully integrate technical education into a nurturing learning environment.

This STEM learning opportunity will help you:

learn how to recognise opportunities for technical education
explore invention, production, analysis and experimentation as facets of engineering
recognise individual preferences in technical education and explore your own technical approach
discover physical forces while leveraging, lifting, swinging and moving
benefit from the exchange with like-minded educators and reflect on your current practice
feel confident in unlocking the wonders of STEM.

You will also receive comprehensive materials with lots of STEM ideas and information about inquiry-based practices.

Topic learning objectives

Invention, analysis, production and technical experiment as gateways to technical education
Recognising individual preferences in technical education
Physical forces and their effects in everyday life
