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.<\/p>\n
The Science group are looking to perform the magnesium ribbon experiment, where a piece of magnesium is placed into a Bunsen burner flame,\u00a0causing it to\u00a0emit a bright flash of white light.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Finally, the Maths group is coming up with a maths relay.<\/p>\n
Overall, the P7 pupils have plenty to look forward to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
