STEAM projects

In this project students will study sources of electrical energy. They will get acquainted with existing hydroelectric power stations (HPPs) in the Republic of Kazakhstan. And they will build their own mock-up of a hydropower plant from hand tools and investigate the principle of its operation. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 5.5-Electricity 3.5.5.1 identify sourceselectrical energy;3.5.5.2 to collect a diagram of the structure of the simplest electrical circuit3.5.5.3 represent simple electrical circuits in the form of diagrams indicating their elements

In this project, the students will study and explain the structure of the food chain. They will also build several models of the food chain in a particular habitat based on their knowledge. Using the toy system “Matryoshka”, they will construct a food chain. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 2.2 Animals 4.2.2.1 classify the animals of the area 4.2.2.2 4.2.1.2 describe the life cycle 4.2.2.3 distinguish between herbivores and carnivores4.2.2.4 give examples of symbiotic relationships4.2.2.5 explain the structure of the food chain4.2.2.6 model food chains in a particular habitat

In this project, pupils will investigate the spatial properties and thermal conductivity of air. In this way, based on their knowledge and research on the thermal conductivity of air, they will make a merry-go-round that functions by means of a candle. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 3.2 Air 2.3.2.2 characterize some properties of air (aggregate state, color, smell); explain the importance of air for our planet2.3.2.3 study of spatial properties and thermal conductivity of air

In this project, students create shadow theatre with their own hands, and devise a production and perform a skit Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 5.2 Light “4.5.2.1 investigate and explainthe dependence of the shadow on the size of the obstacle anddistance from the source to the barrier;4.5.2.2 Investigate and explain properties of light such as reflection and absorption”

In this project, students explore one of the important environmental issues, such as plastic pollution of our planet, production, as well as the measures applied for recycling. Based on this problem, they will offer their creative solutions for the recycling and recycling of plastic materials as a solution.
