Скачать или смотреть Hands on STEM activity- Common Brown Butterfly for Girls in Tech:

Welcome to this Girls in Tech Day
STEM Topic: Science/ Biology
This is a hands-on STEM activity for schools

Learn the Paper Engineering Skills to Make a Common Brown Butterfly from one sheet of paper

Each activity gives a student a template and the steps to make something exciting from one sheet of paper. Students love to make things and to be creative. The activities make learning hands on, experiential, memorable. The activities make Science come alive in their hands. They allow the kids to take something home with them.

Have you ever been outside in summer and had something fluttering catch your eye? Then looked around and seen a butterfly?

The common brown butterfly is found all along the east coast of Australia from Brisbane to Adelaide, in Tasmania and on the southwest tip of Western Australia. They like forests, woodlands and are seen in cities too. There is a good possibility you will be able to see one near you. The
Scientific name is Heteronympha merope

The learning out comes are:
science (biology), paper engineering skills, fine motor skills, and visualising in three dimensions.

This activity is one in a series of ten hands-on learning activities that are delivered online to schools.
Each activity has STEM content, that is science, Tech, Engineering or Maths. They can be used in the classroom or for online/remote learning.
I’ll explain how this works.
First, the teacher downloads the PDF file.
This file includes: the project template, an instruction sheet and a background information sheet.

Secondly, the teacher prints out one project template for each student.

Then, the teacher and the students watch the video that introduces the STEM topic and demonstrates how to cut and fold the template to make it into an impressive three-dimensional project.
There is an instruction sheet that has clear step-by-step photos and written descriptions. That means all students can follow the steps even if they can’t stream video because of slow internet speeds at home.

Lastly, a background information sheet so students can dive into the topic in more depth.

This series is targeted at students eight to fourteen years old. They can be used as a resource for schools year after year. Each activity gives a student a template and the steps to make something exciting from one sheet of paper (a paper engineering project).
