Primary 7 have had such a busy STEM week! It’s been packed. On Monday we did a lego build challenge to build a rocket using exactly 100 pieces. Next we did a build challenge with Coatbridge High to design and build a bridge that could hold as much weight as possible. It had to be a certain height and width and be an attractive design.<\/p>\n
We conducted the bottle flip challenge in class. We had to use\u00a0 a variety of different shapes and sizes of bottles and conduct an experiment to see what shape and size would flip the best.<\/p>\n
Then Coatbridge High visited and gave us a maths problem to solve. We had to work out the cost to fill the classroom with malteasers.<\/p>\n
We had the Science Centre visit us with great exhibits for us to explore on the human body and they even presenting a disgusting digestion show.<\/p>\n
The next day we were visited by ‘The Shape Man’ who showed us how to make a dodecahedron with paper.<\/p>\n
It was also Outdoor Classroom Day and we headed to the forest next to complete a technology challenge to build shelters in case it rained. We headed to another forest to complete a Citizen Science tree health survey next.<\/p>\n
Finally, a particle physicist visited the class to talk to us about energy sources and answer our many questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
