Innovative Inventors in Primary 2

SDC11620SDC11618Arlo Barsanti ” This is Roger the Rubbish Robot but he is not really rubbish!  The rubbish is sucked up the arms……………………. SDC11622Thalia Stewart ” This is a Bird and Bees B and B.   The solar panels catch the energy from the sun and warm up the earth so that worms and flowers can live. Then the birds and bees will have food to eat.  That is how it helps the environment”
SDC11610” I made a model and a poster” Daisy McLean SDC11611Daisy McLean ” It is called the Clean Clean Machine.  It sucks the bad and makes flowers………
SDC11625Sarah Sneddon ” I made a pollution Pump.  It takes polluted air and turns it into cheap electricity.  I helps the environment and poor people.” SDC11626“My machine recycles paper, plastic and glass and turns it into seeds for the birds.” Blair Mann
SDC11628Jamie McFarlane “This is Muncher the Environment Friendly Robot. He is solar powered and recycles bad air to make clean air. He recycles.” SDC11630Olivia Andrews “This is The Marvellous Bin. It sucks up the things and I was going to make a remote control too. It means you only need one bin and it helps the environment.”
SDC11631Ben Casey” This is Ben’s Bag for Life. I made it with an old top.  It has handles. I decorated it with bottle tops.  It helps the environment because you don’t have plastic bags.” SDC11634James Malcolm-Blyth “The Litter Fighting Machine goes round the streets picking up litter and switching off lights.  I made a model and a poster.”
SDC11635“The Tap Timer. Why not get one for your home? It helps the environment because it stops you wasting water.  You can turn it from 1 up to 5 and it stops the tap from running.” Lucy McAllister

SDC11651

 SDC11638Sophia Barclay “I made a solar powered litter collector.  The balloons help it float. The water gets sucked up the pipe and the litter gets trapped.  I was going to make a remote control like Olivia’s to make it come back to be emptied.  It helps the environment because it helps the rivers, seas and oceans.”

Innovative Inventors Challenge

Primary 2 have been learning about important inventions and how they affect people and the environment.

We have been listening and watching for useful information.  We have taken notes and made books for the class library about John Logie Baird and Alexander Graham Bell.  We will be researching more inventors and their inventions………….

We have planned a trip to the Science Centre in April.

Primary 2 have accepted a challenge to invent something that will help fix an environmental problem.  All designs, presentations and patents are due on 10th March………………………………..

Renewable Energy

We are learning about different fuels and how they are used.

We invited an engineer from the local wind farm to teach us about wind turbines.  We listened and watched for useful information.  We wrote notes and asked questions.
