WORKING WITH WIND & WATER


Introduction to our MSTIE Unit

//In ‘Working with Wind and Water’ the students will look at the different states of matter and sources of energy in relation to renewable energy sources, wind and water. The students will collect information during Literacy lessons to build on their knowledge of the uses and properties of wind and water. They will use this knowledge to design and a vessel capable of floating and carrying a specified weight as outlined in the design brief provided by the teachers. Students will engage in hands on experiences that demonstrate the forces at work, such as water wheels, pin wheels, melting ice and states of matter experiements. // //This unit will provide the students with opportunities to demonstrate achievement against the standards in Science, Mathematics, English, The Humanities, The Arts, Information and Communications Technology, Design, Creativity and Technology, Communication, & Interpersonal Development. //
