Abstract

The study proposes five Hands-on STEM and science activities designed using the Predict, Observation, Explain (POE) technique, which aligns with the Computational Thinking. The aim is to make the Hands-on STEM and science activities more functional for science teachers and students through the POE method. In the research, the following Hands-on STEM and science activities were designed: The Nightmare of thieves, design proposal, let's match the elements, design Proposal, atom, cat gene, mirror. The method of study is design-based research method. The Hands-on STEM and science activities were designed to be easily implemented by science teachers in the classroom, cost-effective, and practical. Given the limited presence of activities designed with the POE technique, suitable for the Hands-on STEM activities, and capable of supporting the development of Computational Thinking Skills in the literature, it is believed that the findings of this study will significantly contribute to enriching science teaching environments.
