P5/6 have been looking at roller coasters to help us find out were potential or kinetic energy is transferred. Our task in co operative groups was to build rollercoasters. This was so we learned about energy transfer and also working co-operatively.
STEM workshop
05/09/2018 by Ian Thomas
On the 9.05.18 Emma Chittock came up to our class to do a Lego Robot workshop all about plastic waste in the world. We got to programme the robots and had to make them move a piece of “plastic waste” under a chair and leave the waste under the chair.
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. She told us a bit about STEM based careers too.
She came to Whalsay last year to work with us about space junk. We hope she will be coming up again on the 5th of June to work with us about renewable energy because energy is our topic.
The class loved it, they thought it was pretty hard but they still liked it a lot.
