SMART STEM CLUB - Term 2 - 2023
Event description
Primary School Students in Years 3 to 6 are invited to STEM Club
Come along and join us for a 'Journey to the Moon'
Students will step into the role of an astronaut, and explore what it might be like to live away from planet Earth!
Across 6 sessions, we'll learn about the landscape of the Moon, and investigate:
- How gravity changes
- Why rovers are important
- Being part of a crew (and what you might have to eat!)
Along the way, we'll be using creativity and STEM skills, to design and make equipment for astronauts to:
- Travel to the Moon
- Collect scientific samples
- Perform a rescue mission.
