A new STEM topic for p7 today- Materials: Chemical Changes. A great opportunity to discuss prior knowledge with a partner and to build on yesterday’s lesson on Rusting with the St Ninian’s young STEM leaders. 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬🧪#ERCSTEM

P2 continued their study of the Human Body in Science today by focusing on the skeleton. They learned scientific vocabulary such as ‘humerus’ and ‘femur’ and found out they have 300 bones - nearly 100 more than adults! #ERCStem

More predicting and testing out of Materials in P1 Science this week. This time we were trying to decide which material would best protect Humpty Dumpty’s shell from cracking. Lots of quality discussions from the children and lots of excitement too! #ERCStem

P2 were learning about the lungs during their STEM topic ‘The Human Body’. They found out that lungs take air in and send out carbon dioxide. They loved making a lung with a paper bag and straw, drawing on the important parts and inflating and deflating it. 🫁👍 #ERCStem

P4 loved exploring the result of mixing cornflour and water today during their STEM topic ‘Changing States’. They were hoping for slime but instead the result was somewhere in between a solid and a liquid. Lots of great discussion followed! #successfullearners #ERCStem

P1 investigated more about Materials in Science today, predicting and then testing which one would be strongest for the 3 Little Pigs’ House. We discussed fair testing and then had fun trying to blow and fan our straw, stick and brick walls down. 🏠🐷#ErcStem

P1 were classifying materials in Science this morning, sorting them into ‘soft’ and ‘hard’, before discussing why some materials are better for certain purposes. They decided that glass was too hard and breakable for Cinderella’s slipper in the fairytale! #ERCstem

Primary 4 enjoyed a nature walk this afternoon, looking for living and non-living things. We recorded these in our jotter, and discussed our findings with our peers! @ERC_STEM #ERCSTEM

@ERC_STEM P6c definitely fully explored @gsc1 today as you can see from the photos! They investigated, questioned, problem solved and worked together. Thank you to our amazing parent helpers. ❤️ #ERCSTEM #successfullearners

@ERC_STEM P6c had a wonderful time at the Science Centre today learning about how our bodies work. They investigated how much energy is in our food. This demo was particularly exciting @gsc1 #olmstem #ERCSTEM

Primary 4 have been making snowball runs this morning, using our planning skills, problem solving skills, fine motor skills, engineering skills, and our communication skills! We also tested our designs and improved them when we spotted a problem! #ERCSTEM @ERC_STEM

Primary 4 are so excited for @stniniansbio and the S5 and S6s to come and speak to us about beekeeping! @ERC_STEM #ercstem #operationpollination

Primary 2a enjoyed carrying out a science experiment this week. They used their problem solving and communication skills to create a hurricane in a jar as part of their weather context for learning. #CPSSTEAM #ERCSTEM

Our creativity and engineering skills are being used to help Wylie Coyote catch the Roadrunner. We have been using our Creative Thinking steps: wonder, explore, plan, create, test, celebrate and redesign. Fabulous contraptions! #CPSSTEAM #ERCSTEM

P2c and P2d had our STEM leaders visit this afternoon. They showed us how to use the BeeBots and we used them to learn about directions. We made them move forward, left and right to find sounds and shapes. We had a great time! #OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM @DigiSchoolsERC

Primary 1a and 1c have loved our Muddy Movers sessions so far. We have been working on our scientific inquiry skills and have been making hypothesis and checking them. 🌲🥼#OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM

P2 used their estimation skills to count how many conkers they had. They counted up in 2s and 10s and then estimated the final total! How many do you think they collected?🤔🌲@mathsweekscot #CPSSTEAM #ERCSTEM

P7a tackling the daily challenges from Maths Week Scotland. Using different strategies to find a solution. #CPSSTEAM @mathsweekscot #ERCSTEM

A first at Carolside, 14 P7 pupils from last session have been awarded the Level 3 Young STEM Leader award. They worked hard to consider the place of STEM in the world and also planned and delivered a STEM activity to younger pupils. Well done! #CPSSTEAM #ERCSTEM @YoungSTEMLeader

We are celebrating British Science Week with a full day of science activities linked to the theme of GROWTH. P5-7 made and scattered wildflower seed balls. When our 🌸🌼grow, hopefully they will attract insects to our environment. @ScienceWeekUK #BSW22 #ERCSTEM

This morning, P2b have been using their imagination and digital skills to create their own stop motion movies. #StMarksSTEM #ERCSTEM #DigitalLearning

P1c had a lovely afternoon creating flower prints. We learned a new word 'hypothesis' and predicted that the hammer would be heavy enough to create out prints #OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM

P5B making informative presentations about the importance of healthy lungs 🫁 #OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM

Primary 1a and 1c have loved our Muddy Movers sessions so far. We have been working on our scientific inquiry skills and have been making hypothesis and checking them. 🌲🥼#OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM

Aeronautical Engineering was the focus for P5-P7 today. With the help of Mr Cairns we made aerofoils to explore the forces of lift, weight, drag and thrust. We tested what happens to our rotor blades when we change the weight and the length of the blade. #CPSSTEAM #ERCSTEM

P1a loved estimating, counting and recording their findings for this STEM challenge. Which coin do you think held the most drops of water? #OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM

This afternoon's Sustain & Extend #STEM webinar was on #seethroughscience and using images to inspire and engage. Thanks to @pstt_whyhow @SSERCprimary AND @EastRenCouncil for their support and @STEAM_WHS for the superb resource. #ERCSTEM

P3/4 have had great fun learning about DNA! We created DNA Helix structures using paper straws, tape and sticks. We think the look great. We even had a pupil in our class create some lovely science art to show what she had learned. 🧪🧬#ERCSTEM

Uplawmoor Primary’s whole school science day is well under way! These pupils have been having great fun thinking about the importance of “wildlife corridors” to help animals move safely and easily between habitats. 🐝🦋🐞#GreatSciShare #ERCSTEM

P5 have been exploring how some mountains are formed. They loved creating their own volcanoes and watching them erupt. #BritishScienceWeek2020 #StMarksSTEM #ERCSTEM

P6a were working on their STEM skills using Kapla to plan and create a European landmark to a specific design brief. #StMarksSTEM #ERCSTEM #creativity #resilience #problemsolving #EngineeringHabitsOfMind

A Huge well done to our S6 Young STEM Leaders and our S5/6 Skills for Work Health Sector pupils, for planning and delivering a highly informative, engaging and inspiring STEM Careers Fair today! @YoungSTEMLeader @DYWEastRen @DYWWEST #WWHSScience #ERCSTEM #DYW #nowrongdoor

P2c have been enjoying STEM Week. We have been outside bug hunting and we have been learning all about what an architect does from a real architect! Today we had an amazing afternoon with Mr Bruno and his colleagues. Thank you for teaching us all about trains 🚆 #OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM

All things Science for P1e this week. The class love learning about all of the planets and observing their science experiment #OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM

P4a were learning about conductors and insulators in science today. They worked together to predict which category everyday objects would fit into then constructed their own circuits to test them. #StMarksSTEM #ERCSTEM
