To inspire the pupils to build on their natural curiosity and ability to problem solve, today was filled with science and engineering challenges.\u00a0 The pupils learnt about engineering, one of the fastest growing industries in the world before turning their hand to working collaboratively to solve a variety of problems.\u00a0 The final challenge was to build a marble run that would allow the marble to run for 60 seconds.\u00a0 The pupils soon realised that\u00a0their prior knowledge of Forces\u00a0needed to be applied.\u00a0Their constructions\u00a0will be finished and tested on Thursday.<\/p>\n
