STEM Alphabet

Scientific Method

Problem

Hypothesis

Procedure

is a question, challenge, or situation that must be solved through the application of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. This is an issue that stimulates curiosity, requiring logical thinking and a practical approach to solving it. It is a starting point that motivates students to discover, experiment and deepen their knowledge.

In STEM, a hypothesis is a prediction or assumption that can be tested or verified through experiment or observation. A hypothesis in the context of STEM projects is a proposed answer to a research question or expectations about the results of an experiment.

In STEM, a procedure is a sequence of steps or steps that must be followed to conduct an experiment, engineering project, or other study. A procedure is an action plan that precisely defines what steps should be taken to achieve the research goal.

Materials

Observations

Conclusion

are tools, substances, or resources used to conduct experiments, engineering projects, or scientific research. Materials are a key element of the research process, enabling the implementation of action plans.

observation is the systematic and thorough study of phenomena, processes, or experimental results. This is an important part of the research process that allows students to gain insight into what is happening during an experiment or project.

are reflections, analysis and interpretation of collected data, observations or experimental results. They constitute an important part of the research process, allowing specific conclusions to be drawn from the accumulated knowledge.

Design task: "Create and perform an experiment.

Purpose of the task: The aim of the challenge is to develop students' experimental skills by preparing, performing and documenting an experiment, and then exchanging and repeating experiments prepared by other partners.

Implementation stages:

Experiment preparation:
Each partner school prepares a description of the experiment with a list of needed materials and step-by-step instructions.

Experiment implementation:
Each school started the experiment in accordance with the documentation provided.

Implementation documentation:
After conducting the experiment, the teams prepared documentation containing conclusions, observations, problems encountered during the experiment and possible modifications.
Include documentation in a common book, creating an interactive platform for exchanging knowledge and experiences.

Achieved effects and goals:
Mutual understanding:
The challenge allowed teams to understand different approaches to experimenting and learning.
Development of practical skills:
Students developed their experimental skills by gaining practical experience in carrying out various experiments.
Common goals:
By sharing experiments, teams understood how to work together to achieve common project goals.
Building community
The book became a tool for building an educational community in which students and teachers could share their experiences and knowledge.
Assessment and improvement:
The analysis of the documentation allowed for the assessment of the project, identification of strengths and areas requiring improvement in the future.

The "Create and Execute" challenge was not only a platform for the development of experimental skills, but also promoted international cooperation and exchange of experiences in the area of STEM education.
