2022 Grade 7 Hands-on Learning
Science: Atoms Lab
In this Grade 7 Science project, students worked in teams to design and build three-dimensional models of atoms using clay and other craft materials. Each model represented the key components of an atom, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, helping students visualise a concept that is normally too small to observe directly.
After completing their models, groups delivered presentations explaining the structure of their atom and the role of each particle. Students demonstrated their understanding of atomic structure by describing the location and charge of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The project combined scientific knowledge, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills in an engaging hands-on learning experience.
Science: Zipline Challenge
In this Grade 7 STEM design challenge, students applied the engineering design process to create and test their own zipline systems. Working in groups, they first selected a suitable location in Thailand for a zipline attraction, considering factors such as geography, safety, and tourism potential.
Students then developed sketches and constructed working prototypes to demonstrate how their designs would operate. After testing and refining their models, each group presented their zipline park concept and explained the decisions behind their design. The project encouraged creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and an understanding of how engineers use prototypes to evaluate and improve ideas before real-world construction.
English: Create a City Project
In this Grade 7 English project, students worked collaboratively to design and develop their own future cities. Each group considered a range of factors, including transportation systems, environmental sustainability, recreation, public services, and the needs of the people who would live there.
Students used their creativity to create unique city identities, maps, and visual designs while applying their English communication and presentation skills. At the conclusion of the project, groups presented their cities to the class, explaining the features, innovations, and ideas that made their community an ideal place to live. The project encouraged creativity, teamwork, critical thinking, and the practical use of English in a meaningful real-world context.
