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

Primary 1 have been learning about the life cycle of plants as part of STEM week. This year the theme is Growth so we decided to grow our own garden together. #ERCSTEM

Yesterday and today, the P7 Young STEM Leaders (YSLs) delivered microscope workshops to the P4 classes. Everyone was very busy and learned a lot! #CPSSTEAM #ERCSTEM

Congratulations to our S1&2 DAT award winners. These awards have been given for attainment and achievement in the DAT department. Look out for the next group of awards winners coming soon... Well Done! #WWHSDesignandTechnology #ERCStem

P1-4 put their observation skills to the test this morning when exploring birds nests. They then applied their learning in the wild to construct their very own sturdy, cosy & camouflaged homes for baby birds @ScienceWeekUK #BSW22 #ERCSTEM

P3/4 have been finishing off their science topic about living things. The weather was great so we took our classroom outside. We created a giant food web, drew some food chains and made food webs in groups. #welovescience #ERCSTEM

An invitation to explore matchstick modelling. Primary 1 created some wonderful 2D pictures and are now planning to see what 3D models they can make. #BSW22 #CPSSTEAM #ERCSTEM

P3d went on a Minibeast Hunt around our school environment and completed a survey of all the invertebrates we found! #OLMSTEM #ERCSTEM

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

Our AH biologists working hard as successful scientists today, developing their laboratory skills by testing the reliability of their own microsyringes #wwhsbiologydept #wwhsscience #ercstem

And the winner is .... Spinning Subjects app! Well done to our Primary 4 pupil who designed a wonderful educational app which shares interesting facts at the touch of a button! @makeith_app_en #CPSSTEM #ERCSTEM

We were looking into different STEM Careers during the Pupil Showcase @Mearns_Primary - the boys were interested in Nuclear and Computer Science! 👨🏻‍🔬 #mpsstem #ercstem

"STEAM allows me to be creative which leads to new ideas & new experiences." "It helps build your confidence and resilience which means that when things get hard you keep fighting through." "STEAM will allow me to achieve my goals." 21st century skills! 👏 #ERCSTEM #CPSSTEAM

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

After learning about Darwin’s finches, P5-7 carried out an investigation to find out which bird beak shapes are best adapted to different food sources. We had fun catching our wool worms and beans with chopsticks, tweezers and pegs. @ScienceWeekUK #BSW22 #ERCSTEM

6b had fun this afternoon learning about aerodynamics and experimenting making O wings and deciding which variables can be changed to make theirs go further. #ERCSTEM

After talking about how Mars is one of the most extreme environments imaginable, P5-7 were challenged to end their day of science by creating an extreme habitat and then an extremophile that could survive in it. @ScienceWeekUK #BSW22 #ERCSTEM
