Saniya, Shreya & Disha's Satellite Learning Story


Learners: Shreya, Saniya & Disha
Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 7.3.16
Learning Area: iExperience - Space                     Key Competency: Thinking
Learning Observed
The learners had six activities to choose from to extend their knowledge about Space. Shreya, Saniya and Disha chose to take part in one that required problem solving and thinking skills. They had the option to make either a Mars Rover or a Satellite and picked to do the Satellite. With the provided materials, they had to create their own version of the image that was shown on the screen. Shreya, Saniya and Disha showed curiosity by using the materials in specific ways and tried to use as much detail as possible in their creation. They collaborated by sharing ideas and possible ways to overcome issues, ultimately being very pleased with their final product.

Mentos Explosions!



Learner:  Shreya  Learning Coach: Luisa Maloni    Date: 13th March, 2015
Learning Area: iExperience: Mentos, Coke and Baking Soda Experience
Learning Observed
We had an explosive afternoon this Friday as we experimented with Mentos, Coke and baking soda. All of the learners were very excited to see what would happen when we put the lollies (Mentos) into the coke. I asked the learners what they thought might happen when we put the Mentos lollies into the coke. Shreya’s answer is recorded below in the video clip.
Evidence of learning
Shreya is able to make a prediction based on her previous experiences with experiments.
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Shreya is demonstrating her ability to make Connections between what she knows already and what is new. She is making sense of and building her understandings of these new experiences. (Thinking). In sharing her ideas with the group she is practising the key competency of Participating and Contributing.
Next Learning Steps

  • Ask simple questions about new experiences e.g. I wonder what would happen if… or I wonder why….etc…
  • Review her predictions at the end of an experiment
