Gravity-defying structures, precious egg-bundles and musical mayhem were the order of the day on Tuesday when Kilchrenan and Barcaldine Primaries joined Achaleven for a celebration of science and technology as part of British Science Week.

Teamwork was required to figure out how to protect their prized eggs from damage whilst being dropped from great heights, whilst some amazing feats of architecture were created from spaghetti and marshmallows!

In the afternoon there was a fantastic sound workshop “Ella’s Wobble” by the team from Generation Science. Great fun was had making a variety of different sounds with unusual materials to mimic sounds of nature.

A fantastic day was had by all.

Thanks to the British Science Association for a grant which made this all possible.
