WESSA e-STEAM uses Science and the Scientific Method as the backbone of all programmes and processes during the programme. The students involved will be focusing on the following during their programme:

PART 1 Introduction to the research process and task requirements

PART 2 Research topic selection and design, materials and methods to be determined. PART 4 Results analysis and interpretation. Writing up and completion of projects

1. Physical Sciences 2. Natural Science

3. Ecology 4. Physics 5. Biology 6. Environmental Science. 7. GIS and Computer Science

PART 3 Field work and data collection in community where school is from.

At the same time, the students will be conducting experiments and using technical equipment including: 1. Handheld Dataloggers to measure abiotic factors, including Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, pH, Climatic Conditions, Humidity, 2. Chemistry experiments to measure voltage and current 3. Weather data to measure climatic conditions 4. Statistical analysis of data for graphing, and conclusions
