Before we attended a Science and Maths day at Barrhead High School, we had a lesson investigating electromagnetic waves all around us. We were already familiar with a few, such as radio waves. Miss Hamilton set up activities and key questions to let the children explore how these waves work and how they can be used in life.

We had lots of fun and are feeling confident in identifying the wide range of waves prior to our High School Taster.
