Welcome to H2 WOAH! Sustainable STEM workshop!
Ignite young minds with the wonders of water energy in our H2Woah! STEM workshop, specially designed for children aged 2-5 and 5-12 years. Perfect for teachers and early childhood educators, this engaging workshop aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), My Time, Our Place (MTOP), and the Australian Curriculum.
Discover the Power of Hydro Energy
Dive into the fascinating world of hydro energy and its historical significance in our H2Woah! workshop. Children explore the essential role water energy has played throughout history, both in natural processes and human innovations. Through interactive activities, they learn how water energy benefits both living organisms and man-made structures.
Hands-On Learning and Engineering Fun
Students will get hands-on experience as they design and construct their own water pipe paths. They’ll experiment with different configurations to find the most effective way to harness water energy to turn a paddle wheel. By manipulating water flow and observing its effects, they gain insights into how varying speeds and pathways influence energy efficiency.
In addition, students will test the water resistance of mini boats by adding weight to see how much they can hold while remaining afloat. They'll also use wind power to make their boats move across the water, exploring how design and external forces like wind affect movement and buoyancy.
Creative Energy Exploration
The workshop culminates in a creative activity where students craft a trick flower, demonstrating how stored energy can be activated by external forces. This fun project highlights the practical application of energy concepts and encourages children to express their understanding in a playful and inventive way.
Curriculum Integration
Our H2Woah! workshop is carefully crafted to integrate seamlessly with the EYLF, MTOP, and Australian Curriculum. Each activity is designed to meet educational standards while offering a stimulating and interactive learning experience that fosters curiosity and creativity.
