 To capture student interest and find out what they know about day time and night time
 To elicit students’ questions/ prior knowledge about what day and night looks like.
 Diagnostic assessment used- in this lesson you will find out what the students already know about daytime and night time. This will allow you to take account of students’ existing ideas when

2. Pick one to be person A and the
other to be B (the person who is
taller or has longer hair for
example).

what they have learnt, with a 2
minute timer on the board.

about what person A learnt for 30
seconds with a timer on the board.

 STEM DESIGN BRIEF

In the outdoor play environment there is a bird bath, that many birds use throughout the day.
With the seasons changing to Summer, it is now a lot hotter, the sunlight is making the water too hot for the birds and the water is so hot it is turning to steam.
The school gardener has to fill up the bird bath everyday! The Summer holidays are soon and when it is school holidays the gardener will not be there
everyday to fill up the bird bath.
The principal has suggested that the year ones can design something to cover the bird bath, that keeps it cool, allows the birds to enter and exit, and can be
easily taken down when the season changes.
The year ones will make a design and mini models of coverings for the bird bath. The materials there for the model are wire, dark fabric, light fabric, wood,
duck tape, super glue and hard transparent plastic.
