International Stem Activity (Water Craft) SMK Tasek Utara (16-17 April 2019)

The document summarizes an upcoming international STEM activity at SMK Tasek Utara from 16-17 April 2019 where students will build watercraft. They will learn about concepts like buoyancy and water displacement by designing boats that can support a given weight. Students will use materials like plastic bottles, chopsticks, rubber bands, and spoons to construct the boats. The activity aims to teach scientific principles and engineering design through a hands-on project. Participants will also race the boats and complete evaluations to assess their understanding of STEM learning.

INTERNATIONAL STEM ACTIVITY (WATER CRAFT)

SMK TASEK UTARA (16-17 APRIL 2019)

SYNOPSIS

STEM activities provide hands-on and minds-on lessons for the student. Making math
and science both fun and interesting helps the student to do much more than just learn. STEM
education in school is important to spark an interest in pursuing a STEM career in students.
However, teachers do not carry the whole burden of STEM education. Parents also must
encourage their children to pursue STEM activities and increase awareness and interest at
home and in extracurricular activities of the merits of STEM education. In order to support
the International STEM Activity to be held in SMK Tasek Utara, an idea of building water
craft had aroused. Students will understand the concepts of buoyancy and water displacement
to design a water boat that will support a given amount of weight. They will design a
watercraft that will support a given amount of weight and incorporate the scientific principles
of force and motion with engineering design and mathematics. Materials needed to construct
this watercraft are 500 plastic bottles, 5 large packets of chopsticks, 5 large packets of rubber
band, 600 plastic spoons, 2 metre of red thick string and a packet of small colourful pebbles.
Also, 2 hot glue guns, 50 glue refills and an extension cable are needed. In spite of that, this
activity has to be carried out near water source (outdoor). Other than that, water boat racing
among group members will be conducted to find the relationship between speed and weight.
Finally, evaluation forms will be distributed to test participants understanding towards the
STEM learning. Hopefully, participants will be benefited from this watercraft building.
