Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. These STEM trail activities encourage pupils to focus on the journey, not just the destination. Pupils will plan routes to their destination point, estimate distances, and use their STEM eyes to identify and record items/directions onto their school ground map. Pupils will also learn about the square metre and consider what's in their square metre.
