Earth's Resources 1.5 hr School Circuit

Workshop Information

Sustainable Welcome to Beyond the Beanstalk, where young environmental stewards embark on an exciting journey through sustainable STEM! Our 1.5-hour Earth Resources Sustainability Circuit for children aged 5-12 invites exploration of sustainability through interactive stations and engaging activities. Activities Include: H2Woah: Children build water pipe mazes to demonstrate hydro energy and the mechanics of water flow, fostering an understanding of renewable energy sources. Seed Bombs: Participants create seed bombs using recycled materials, promoting seed dispersal and encouraging ecological conservation practices in urban environments. Tornado Races: By creating tornadoes in a bottle, children explore weather patterns and the science behind tornadoes, making meteorology interactive and engaging. The Elements: Children create mini structures and use wind energy, water flow, and vibrations to observe their impacts on structures, teaching principles of physics and engineering. Treasure Mining: Each child excavates a crystal, learning about crystal formations and their practical applications in various industries, such as jewelry and timekeeping. Solar Robots: Students construct and race solar-powered robots, highlighting the potential of solar energy as a renewable power source and demonstrating its application in technology. Educational Focus: Aligned with the My Time Our Place Framework (MTOP) and the Australian Curriculum, our circuit enriches scientific learning with hands-on activities that reinforce sustainability concepts. Participants engage in experiments and practical applications, fostering a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship and resource management. Conclusion: Beyond the Beanstalk's Earth Resources Sustainability Circuit aims to ignite a passion for sustainability in young minds, cultivating eco-conscious leaders who will shape a sustainable future through knowledge and action.
