First we learned what STEAM stood for.
S for Science
T for Technology
E for Engineering
A for the Arts

We were much better at the second challenge because we add a back of the chair on it

In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments
and to write a technology report using the design process of ask,

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.
