“The Circle of Water” based on STEAM. 2021 STEM Discovery Campaign.

Posted on by

This webinar was held on Tuesday, April 20th, attended by 50 teachers from kindergarten schools in Athens.https://blogs.sch.gr/3syn60-at3/

STEAM activities were presented based on this approved program from Greek Institution of Education Policy . School teachers from all over Greece, presented activities with science such as: experiments on water soluability,coagulation and melting, objects that float and sink into the water.

They also peresented activities with educational software such as kidspiration, and Cmap tools, regarding to circle of water. In STEM we also have engineering activities such as building a dam and mathematics with the water cycle. Art acitivities such as artistic creations, theatrical play and dramatization with the journey of water were part of the project. Subsequently, coding programs were presented on the water cycle with the robot bee bot and ways we can introduce this robot to kindergarten. For example, we answered questions about how we can introduce the robot into kindergarten? What steps should we take?

In the end, we commented in the 2021 STEM Discovery Campaign. For example:

What is STEM Discocery Campaign? How can I be part of this? What are the benefits for me and my students? Where can I find information about this Campaign?

Self-heating Home

Posted on by

Could it be a self-warming house? Today, natural phenomena are more severe. There’s probably a big change in the world. The earth was colder, warmer and stormy. They’re running out of natural resources. Is it possible to build nature-resistant self-warming houses? It is possible for primary school students to solve the problem by building houses with reusable materials. Learn about the sustainability of life worldwide and offer alternatives. What materials are used in heat-efficient homes?

This plan is the 2nd year of the Turkish Ministry of National Education. Natural events and disasters in the life sciences plan. The importance of recycling. Use resources correctly. Observes weather events and transfers results to the table, understanding geometric shapes and objects in a math class. Literate graphs and tables. He designs in tech class. Cares about group work.I worked with 6-7 year old students.A total of 23 students attended the event.We completed our event on April 22-23.

STEM Activities with Engineering Design Process

Posted on by

Engineering is generally perceived as a profession. But engineering problem-solving can be
seen as the process of creating a product design and producing a product. Societies from
antiquity to the present have sought answers to the needs of the period they live in. While
searching for these answers, they made use of science, technology and engineering. For the continuation of vital activities, they created solutions for basic needs such as shelter and nutrition and built caves, houses, temples and palaces for shelter. In addition, they used agricultural land for feeding and they tried to make agricultural products productive by making irrigation channels in these lands. It is seen that they are doing work that requires engineering studies while meeting their shelter and nutrition needs.


Engineering is the transformation of the materials and forces/energies in nature into
structures, machines, products and processes in the most efficient way that reveals new
technologies by using the findings of science, mathematics and technology.
In engineering, the product is designed. The engineering design process is a process that
determines the best way to solve engineering problems.

Garbage Museum Application Story

Posted on by

Teacher: İnci AYRANCIOĞLU

Students: 6-9 years

The results of this activity with primary school students are as follows:

First of all, the students discovered the environment. We asked some questions to the students. Can you do something about the garbage? What are recyclable materials and what are the measures to be taken for less waste?
We did an online course activity through Zoom and asked some questions. We shared photos of our natural and artificial products with Padlet.
Students thought and designed what they could do with artificial materials for the “Garbage Museum”. They organized an online exhibition for the resulting natural and artificial objects. I wanted them to explore the environment, realize the damage they caused to the environment, find solutions to these problems and exhibit the concrete examples they prepared in the museum.
