Hong Kong STEM Challenge #2

Our buddy class in Hong Kong challenged us to a STEM activity. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

We were given 3 challenges and they were:

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base.

Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it.

Here are the materials we had access to:

We were allowed to choose what we thought would best help us achieve our goal:

6 x long sticks

1 x wooden 100s square

2 x pipe cleaners

2 x straws

1 x 1m ruler

11 x plastic cubes

1 x bunch of popsicle sticks

4 x wooden small flat pieces

Rangikura Room 10

e-Learning Using Google Hangouts & Chromebooks

Room 10 is building connections with students in an Australian International School in Hong Kong.  

To see our first Google Hangout you can click on the link, which will open in a new tab.  Click here.  

We are learning about each other.

Each group consists of 3 Room 10 students and they have 2 students their end, which makes 5 in a group.

We are finding out what they like learning about, what they want to be when they grow up, and other cool things.

We love learning about our new friends in Hong Kong and they love learning about us.

Google Hangout With Our Hong Kong Friends

21st Century skills are being developed in Room 10 with the connection between two classes in very different countries.  Today was our second Google Hangout where we shared some jokes and asked each other questions.

Room 10 is slowly getting to know our new friends at the

Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK)

www.aishk.edu.hk

Carl Ohlson who used to work at Rangikura School is the teacher of the class we have buddied up with.  It's great to have this opportunity for the students to learn about each other and their cultures.

Students take turns sharing jokes and information with each other.

 We catch up once every week. 

Our next Google Hangout will have us breaking into smaller groups and interviewing each other using our Chromebooks.  We will find out more about the different countries and cultures that make us who we are.

This year Room 10 is lucky enough to be learning and collaborating with students from the Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK)

Team Respect has put this video together to provide a snapshot of what it is like at Rangikura School. This week we have been learning about idioms and we will be sharing our learning with the students at AISHK on Friday afternoon.  We are very excited to meet our new learning friends.
