This workshop explores the fascinating relationship between chemical reactions and language development in early childhood. Come along to learn how to recognise chemistry in children’s everyday lives, find opportunities for age-appropriate chemical exploration, and explore the pedagogy behind language development through STEM inquiry.

STEM topic: Chemical Reactions

 

In this hands on, interactive workshop, you will learn how to create rich STEM learning experiences in your service through the exciting topic of chemical reactions and use it as a topic through which to teach the outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework. Activities may include: 

 

  • Use detective science skills to solve the mysteries of unidentified white substances.   
  • Handle ‘dangerous materials’ and aerate chocolate!
  • Make a mess creating carbon dioxide with various substances.  
  • Explore the properties of carbon dioxide in fizzy water and experiment with dancing grapes and blueberries.
  • Play with purple cabbage juice as a universal indicator and make noodles go from purple to blue or pink.
  • Make a baking soda rocket and find out why baking soda volcanoes aren’t as educational as you might think.

Pedagogical topic: Language development through STEM inquiry 

 

This captivating professional development workshop will build on your understanding of language development by exploring it through the lens of STEM inquiry and chemical reactions. You will gain: 

 

  • The fundamentals and principals of language development. 
  • An understanding of the potential of STEM inquiry for language development. 
  • An ability to use STEM to support children’s literacy and extend their vocabulary by modelling scientific language and engaging in sustained communication with children about their ideas and experiences.   
  • Knowledge of how embodied experiences relate to language development and enhance learning.

STEM Hour: Supporting Transitions through Place-Based STEM Learning

When children move between home, early learning, and school, they often face new people and expectations. Children’s confidence in these transitions will depend on whether they feel a strong sense of connection between and belonging in each space — and STEM is a powerful tool to support this.

STEM Hour: Integrating Arts into STEM for Meaningful Exploration

In early childhood, STEM learning builds on children’s prior knowledge, encourages collaboration, and nurtures creative thinking — making it a natural partner to the Arts.
