This week the STEM group started a new project. We split into two groups: one to look at programming the Rover, the other to devise experiments for the P7 science club.

The programming group was split into a further two teams, with both looking to to program the Rover through a U-shaped maze/track.

The P7 group have split into a further three groups. One is creating a PowerPoint presentation about their experiment and the Mars Rover project. Another team has an engineering theme and their P7 workshop is to create a bridge able to hold the weight of the Mars Rover. The last group is doing a Biology experiment and Maths Bingo.

Some pictures will follow early next week!

Due to a breakdown in communication, this update is arriving several weeks late!

Towards the end of October, the STEM team changed into different groups; Science, Technology (and Design), Engineering and Maths. Each group was given the task of creating an experiment or activity for the visiting P7s who are coming up to school soon.

The Science group are looking to perform the magnesium ribbon experiment, where a piece of magnesium is placed into a Bunsen burner flame, causing it to emit a bright flash of white light.

The Technology group are intending to do a “crash barrier” challenge, where pupils will need to design a barrier that will reduce the forces acting on a car that runs down a slope and into a wall.

The Engineering group intend to design a maze for the Rover. The P7 pupils will put down cards that represent coding to allow the Rover to move through the maze.

Finally, the Maths group is coming up with a maths relay.

Overall, the P7 pupils have plenty to look forward to!
