Incursions
Build It 4 Kids understands the demands of the classroom teacher and the limitations of classroom equipment. So, we offer some relief with 3 fun incursion classes that are designed to support and enhance the criteria of the Australian Education Curriculum:
-
Simple Machines - Students learn and construct everyday objects that use simple machines eg. cranes, seesaw's, windmills, cars, etc..
-
Push and Pull - Students learn and construct objects that are affected by a push and pull force.
-
Landmarks and construction - Students learn and construct landmarks and buildings, face off in puzzling challenges and problem solving.
These incursions are linked to these key areas of the curriculum:
Physical sciences
Exploring the way different objects move and function in alignment to the construction of their shape, size and weight.
Science Inquiry Skills
Questioning and predicting: Respond to questions about familiar objects and events.
Planning and conducting: Explore and make observations by using the senses.
Processing and analysing data and information: Engage in discussions about observations and use methods such as drawing to represent ideas.
Communicating: Creating a safe and supportive space for student to share observations and ideas with the class.
