P7 & P7/6 Engineering afternoon

Today we welcomed Mr McGlynn to Barsail.

Firstly, he introduced us to electrical wiring and taught us the process of a wiring loop. Next, we made a switch with a piece of ply, two circular card disks and split pins. This allows our vehicle to travel in two directions…. Forwards and backwards!

Secondly, we worked on scale drawings of our models. We also created an axel to hold our wheels! We had a busy afternoon working on our engineering project!
