Little Scientists: Air workshop
Could you squash a plastic bottle without ever touching it? Or break a ruler with a single sheet of newspaper? Come along to our much-loved Air Workshop to explore why air is so much more than ‘nothing’ and dive into the fascinating pedagogical topic of metacognition in early childhood. In this hands on, interactive workshop, you will learn how to create rich STEM learning experiences in your service through the exciting topic of air and use it as a topic through which to teach the outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework.
This STEM learning opportunity will help you:
- experience the air that surrounds us with all your senses
- explore air by catching and enclosing it and feeling and listening to it
- develop ideas for a co-constructed learning environment and explore questions that encourage children’s metacognitive thinking
- implement our inquiry-based educational approach
- benefit from the exchange with other educators and teachers
- feel confident in unlocking the wonders of STEM
- take home information and inspiration in the Air booklet and cards you receive.
Develop ideas for a co-constructed learning environment and explore questions that encourage children’s metacognitive thinking.
