Little Scientists STEM Water Workshop, 7 February 2025, Macquarie Park NSW

Come along to Little Scientist’s foundational workshop to explore STEM through the vehicle of water and the critical pedagogical topics of co-construction, metacognition, and inquiry-based learning in early education.

 

STEM topic: Water

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to create rich STEM learning experiences and use water as a topic through which to teach the outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework. Interactive activities can include:

 

• Exploring water with all five senses and investigating its many aggregate states.
• Exploring the density of water by making rainbow layers and “floating” objects.
• Finding out if it’s possible to boil water in balloons and mix (and then unmix!) colour pigments in water.
• Hiding objects within bubbles and making bubble cubes.
• Exploring capillary action with the walking water experiment and watching a stick of celery turn blue.
• Observing the interactions between ice and salt and hydrophobic and hydrophilic objects. Just to name a few!
