Creative Problem-Solving in Education

The video tutorial covers a science theme from the previous year, focusing on the nature of science and encouraging students to investigate their surroundings. It details the collaborative planning process for a science fair, including backward planning. The video highlights six major experiments designed to spark student interest and lead to independent investigations. Creative activities like the brick pit challenge are also featured. A field trip to the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) is discussed, showcasing the importance of exposing students to experiences beyond school grounds. The video concludes with a visit to the Explorium, where students conduct experiments and engage in discussions.
