At the end of April, pupils from our feeder primary schools visited our department for one of the highlights of our year. The K’Nex challenge is an event that is organised by Glasgow University as part of the Glasgow Science festival and all P6 pupils in the cluster took part in classroom challenges, before the best 20 headed to Williamwood for a competitive cluster final.

Given the task of designing a crane, the pupils came up with some fantastic solutions. Congratulations to Eva and Isabella from Carolside Primary School for their winning entry which is shown below. The two girls will now compete in the West of Scotland final and we wish them lots of luck!

Please complete this for you first period in Science next week.

Many thanks to the fantastic Primary 7 pupils who joined us from Busby, Carolside and Netherlee Primary schools to take part in the Primary 7 Science club. The pupils had a great time making and launching rockets, completing a germ investigation and burning magnesium. The Teachers at Williamwood were very impressed with your energy, enthusiasm and scientific skills and we look forward to working with you again very soon.
