Activity Sheet for How Does It Work? by Maddie Moate

Things around us are always working to help us in different ways—lights turn on, taps give us water, doors open and close! But have you ever stopped to check what’s working and what’s not?

In this colourful checklist, inspired by How Does It Work? by Maddie Moate, you’ll go on a STEM spotting adventure to look at different things in your home or outside. Use your checklist to see if they are working. If they are—great! If not—uh oh! What do you think might be wrong?

This is a fun way to think like a scientist and notice how everyday things help us. Ready to start exploring? Let’s go!
