STEM WEEK - Building a school on the moon

Grade 1s applied their learning about forces and machines as well as their current lessons about measurement and structures as they worked on their project of building a school on the moon.

During the planning stage, the students considered lack of gravity and oxygen on the moon, so they thought of having a 'gravity control switch' to solve this concern and an 'oxygen dome' where all structures will be housed in so students will have enough oxygen to breathe.

They designed the students' board and lodging place. They thought of having capsule beds for students' sleeping quarters. The capsule beds have built-in radio system for announcements.

They know that lack of gravity may lead to having weak bones and muscles so they also planned a 'fitness area' for the students. The fitness area is composed of a soccer court, an indoor gym and a virtual reality game/exercise.

The students also need to be healthy thus a set of nutritious meal is important. They planned a restaurant to cater for foods and drinks of students. They thought of serving dried foods in sealed pouches.

Lastly, they know that students need to maintain proper hygiene. They designed a washing area where students will use wet hand towel (warm or cold) to wipe their skin. They also designed a toilet where students can do number 1 and number 2. 

Together, the students worked in creating these and they are all very eager to see if this idea will be made possible in the future. 😊
