STEAM projects

About Course In this project, the students will learn how to grow plants in an artificial medium without soil, i.e. hydroponics. They will make their own hydroponic system and grow a plant.

Our planet is Earth and we live on it. It is our home. In this project, pupils will learn about the Earth and its structure. Based on this, they will make a real globe out of paper. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 4.1/4.2 Earth/Space 3.4.1.1 explain and graph the spheres of the earth

In this project, pupils will study the properties of water. They will investigate one of mankind’s global problems: water pollution. To solve this problem, the students will make a simple filter unit using sand-gravel and activated carbon. In this way, they will purify contaminated water in their own plant. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives Water 3.3.3.4 propose various methods of water purification;3.3.3.5 offer your own water filter model

In this project, students will study the relationship between the volume of a sound and the distance between the sound source and the receiver. From this, they will make a real stethoscope to listen to the heartbeat. They will also make walkie-talkies out of cups. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 5.3-Sound 3.5.3.1 explain the dependencesound volume from the distance betweenaudio source and receiversound

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
