We have been enjoying STEM week in P5.17 and on Wednesday we had a visit from University of Strathclyde PhD students! They spoke to us about their experiences in Forensic Chemistry 🧪 we then helped to solve a mystery using Chromatography 👀 And played Periodic Table Bingo ✔️
In the afternoon we completed a Paper Chain Challenge in our houses where we were given a single piece of paper, scissors and glue and we worked together in groups to try and make the longest chain ⛓️
Today we worked together on the Jelly Tot Structure challenge where we had to use our engineering and design skills to build a structure from jelly tots and cocktail sticks! We then tested their strength by seeing how many books our tower could hold 📚
