Lesson: 1
Lesson: 2
Lesson: 3
Timeline for this STEM Challenge
• Synchronous lesson: Zoom platform
• Starter: Students will do simple quiz to recap on different forms of energy https://quizizz.com/join?gc=60931777
• Discussion on these questions:
1) What is energy?2) What are the sources of energy?3) Name all forms of energy
Activities for Lesson 1 (ELICIT)
Activities for Lesson 1 (ENGAGE)
• Teacher will bring students on a virtual roller coaster ride
1) What can you see from the video?2) What forms of energy are involved here?3) Where does the roller coaster train get the energy to move?
Activities for Lesson 1 (ENGAGE)
• Teacher will ask more questions to engage the students:
• Teacher will introduce to the main STEM
Challenge topic: "Building a Roller Coaster
Challenge"
• Teacher will show some samples of the roller coaster projects as reference for students
Activities for Lesson 1 (EXPLORE)
Pictures of Roller Coasters
Samples of Roller Coasters Projects
using template
Samples of Roller Coasters
using different materials
Samples of Roller Coasters
using different materials
• Students will discuss things they need to consider when
building a roller coaster based on the sample pictures in
the breakout room
• Then, teacher will summarise the findings
• Teacher will share the instructions for the STEM
Challenge
• To be completed within one week
• Plenary: Thumbs up/down
Activities for Lesson 1 (EXPLORE)

Instructions for Building a Roller Coaster
Roller Coaster Experiment Template
Activities for Lesson 2 (EXPLORE)• Asynchronous lesson• Instructions given via WhatsApp• Task 1:
• Students need to build the roller coaster and complete the experiment template at their own time

1) The materials used to build the roller coaster
2) The roller coaster works properly3) Their explanation on what they
observed by using question 3 as guide
Activities for Lesson 2 (EXPLAIN)
• Asynchronous lesson• Task 2:
• Students will record a video consisting of:
• Upload the video into PADLET
Instructions for Video Recording
Activities for Lesson 2 (EXPLORE & EXPLAIN)
Summary of the tasks in lesson 2:• The final products of STEM Challenge that need to be
submitted on PADLET: https://padlet.com/christeo921/MyRide1) The "Roller Coaster Experiment Template"2) Video of the roller coaster with the answers to the given question
*Each student will have an assigned column to upload their work on PADLET before the next lesson (1 week)
Padlet Page to Submit the Roller Coaster STEM Challenge
Activities for Lesson 3 (ELABORATE)• Synchronous lesson: Zoom Platform
Energy conversion:Stored energy Movement energy + Sound Energy + Heat Energy
Activities for Lesson 3 (ELABORATE)
• Synchronous lesson: Zoom Platform
• Synchronous lesson: Zoom Platform
Activities for Lesson 3 (EXTEND)
• Teacher will probe for more discussion by asking these questions:
Q: What happens if I use sandpaper instead of paper for the track?Q: Will the time taken for the object to roll down the slide be the same?Q: Will the speed of the object remain the same?Q: What if the starting point is made from a lower ground instead?
• This will relate the students' thinking to gravity & frictional force
• This will relate the students' thinking to gravity & frictional force
Activities for Lesson 3 (EXTEND)
• Synchronous lesson: Zoom Platform
Activities for Lesson 3 (EXTEND)
Why moving UPHILL is more difficult than
moving DOWNHILL?
• Synchronous lesson: Zoom Platform
Activities for Lesson 3 (EVALUATE)
1) Wordwall activity:• Students will answer quiz
on Wordwall to assess their understanding on the concepts of changing forms of energy
https://wordwall.net/play/24544/952/947
2) Self-reflection & Peer Assessment
• Students make a video reflection on Padlet based on lesson's discussion about their roller coaster
• Students will do peer assessment- give comments / feedback on their friends' videos on Padlet
