My STEM Workbook 2 - Understanding Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through design-process activities. The trilogy of My STEM Workbooks, Years 1-6, is a collection of project-based learning (PBL) activities for primary students. The PBL activities focus on eight United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.Zero Hunger (Goal 2)Good Health and Well Being (Goal 3)Clean Water and Sanitation (Goal 5)Affordable and Clean Energy (Goal 7)Sustainable Cities and Communities (Goal 11)Climate Action (Goal 13)Life Below Water (Goal 14)Life on Land (Goal 15)Students apply their knowledge and skills of Science, Technologies, Engineering and Mathematics to propose solutions to contextually appropriate real-world challenges.¿¿¿¿¿¿The STEM PBL framework '1' was used to design the activities. Students need to tackle each challenge through the following steps: Ask ¿ Imagine ¿ Plan ¿ Create ¿ Improve[1. Forbes, A., Chandra, V., Pfeiffer, L., & Sheffield, R. (2021). STEM education in the primary school: a teacher's toolkit. Cambridge University] Press.Through these steps students apply their design-thinking skills to propose solutions to real-world challenges. Workplace Health and Safety is an integral part of each activity. Students are expected to handle tools, equipment and materials with care. Teachers are also expected to reinforce the use of safety gear - that is, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - as needed.

My STEM Workbook 1 is part of a trilogy of STEM workbooks for primary students Years 1-6. Each workbook has eight challenges. Each addresses one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They are: Zero Hunger (Goal 2) Health and Well Being (Goal 3) Clean Water and Sanitation (Goal 6) Affordable and Clean Energy (Goal 7) Sustainable Cities and Communities (Goal 11) Climate Action (Goal 13) Life Below Water (Goal 14) Life on Land (Goal 15)Students apply their knowledge and skills of Science, Technologies, Engineering and Mathematics to propose solutions to contextually appropriate real-world challenges. The STEM PBL framework proposed by Forbes, Chandra, Pfeiffer and Sheffield (2020) was used to design the activities. Students need to tackle each challenge through the following steps: Ask ¿ Imagine ¿ Plan ¿ Create ¿ ImproveThrough these steps students apply their design-thinking skills to propose solutions to real-world challenges. Workplace Health and Safety is an integral part of each activity. Students are expected to handle tools, equipment and materials with care.

Design and Technology in Today's World: A First Look introduces primary students to the building blocks of Design and Technology (D&T). These building blocks help us to understand the design and technologies processes. These processes enable individuals to use the same building blocks to solve problems in their daily lives with a view to the future. The building blocks are presented as eight units of study and supported by activity sheets.Units of Study1 What is technology?2 What is design?3 Materials4 Tools5 Processes6 What is a system?6A Technological systems6B Agricultural systems6C Control systems7 Technology and the future8 SafetyActivity Sheets1 What is technology?2 What is design?3 Materials4 Tools5 Processes6 What is a system?6A1 Technological systems: Manufacturing6A2 Technological systems: Construction6B Agricultural systems6C Control systems7 Technology and the future8 Safety
