17 March 2010 ~ Year 6 Science Workshop - 1

         

To celebrate National Science and Engineering Week Mrs. O'Donnell devised an afternoon of Science and Engineering activities.
All the Year 6 staff were on hand to offer advice if needed.

Mrs. O'Donnell sets out the afternoons challenge.
(The sports kit is NOT to add a competitive edge: some need
to make a quick get-away afterwards for interschool matches!)

Science and Engineering come together when building structures. 
How do you support a weight (chocolate egg - to be eaten later)? 
- oh, and you don't want to spend too much money on buying supports 
that aren't needed - the lighter the better!
 Some solve the problem...
 And some solve the problem with elegance.
On to electricity - this needs a different approach to using science.
