Week 4

Students work with space simulator

You can also use different pipes or handrails to check how the system works. You can check at different angles and hang different objects on the simulator on weight.

What parts of the foot are most susceptible to injury?

How can you protect your foot?

Try to protect your foot model

• use different materials
• offer the best solution

After the experiments and data obtained, the trainees must protect their foot model with different materials. Let them make linings or a protective coating to protect their model

Sample materials:

• paper
• cardboard
• plastic bags
• textile
• plastic

After repeating the experiments

Assessment of learning outcomes

Project Presentation Structure

During lessons in groups of 2 to 4, students create a STEM-proposed project “Creating astro socks to study the effect of microgravity on the body of astronauts”

Structure and protection of the project

         The project consists of the following structural elements:

–          Presentation (authors, problem, idea, method of solution, conclusions, prospects are indicated).

–          Prototype (created a working prototype of the project during the lessons).

–          Answering questions during the defense (project presentation skills and understanding of its relevance)

Project Evaluation Criteria

	Evaluation criteria	Points	Comments
1	Formulation of the research problem. Significance and relevance of the problem
2	Correspondence of the set problems, goals and objectives to the subject of the project
3	Structuring the content of the project: consistency and consistency
4	Correspondence of the content to the subject of the project:– the degree of disclosure of the problem;– compliance with the plan.
5	Working prototype
6	Teamwork–          during the work on the project, the distribution of roles–          during the defense
7	Oratory
8	Answers on questions
9	Creativity
	Number of points

The following criteria are distinguished for evaluating project work:

1 point – not implemented;

2 points – implemented partially;

3 points – fully implemented.

The maximum number of points for the project is 27 points.

It is recommended to transfer the sum of points for work into traditional evaluation norms according to the following scheme:

Rating “5” (excellent) is given for the amount of 22-27 points. Rating “4” (good) corresponds to the sum of 16-21 points.

Grade “3” (satisfactory) corresponds to the sum of points 11-16 points
