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 ๐งช we then helped to solve a mystery using Chromatography ๐ And played Periodic Table Bingo โ๏ธย ย
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 โ๏ธ
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 ๐
