STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. In this 2 hour class we used English to learn about all these topics in fun, engaging and unique lessons. Students are encouraged to teach themselves and communicate only in English. Lessons perfect for children with advanced or strong English abilities. Let's have fun using English!

In Lesson 3 and 4 students embarked on an exciting and educational journey to understand the impact of oil spills and the importance of environmental protection. The lesson began with an engaging hands-on activity where students designed and constructed their own oil-proof protective clothing using simple materials like trash bags. This creative exercise not only sparked their imagination but also emphasized the importance of protective gear in real-world scenarios.

Once the students were suited up in their makeshift protective clothing, we simulated an oil spill by pouring a mixture of black paint and vegetable oil into a model ocean, complete with islands that the children had crafted earlier. This visual and tactile representation of an oil spill brought the environmental issue to life, making it more relatable and urgent for the young learners.



The students were then tasked with cleaning up the oil spill using a variety of materials provided to them. These materials included items such as sponges, cotton balls, paper towels, and even natural absorbents like sand and sawdust. Each group of students experimented with different methods and recorded the effectiveness of each material in their class books. This part of the lesson was particularly messy and fun, allowing students to engage in trial and error while learning about the properties and effectiveness of various cleaning materials.
Throughout the activity, students not only learned about the challenges of cleaning up oil spills but also gained insights into the importance of using the right materials and techniques. The hands-on experience fostered teamwork, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of environmental science.
By the end of the lesson, students had a newfound appreciation for the complexities of environmental cleanup efforts and the importance of protecting our oceans. The activity was combining education with creativity and fun, helping students to think for themselves in English and learn how to overcome new challenges!
