P5/6 had a fantastic Science workshop led by Mrs Sherard from SERC.
We learned about pneumatic and hydraulics in a practical, fun way. It taught us a lot more about solids, liquids and gases.
We tested compressing solids, liquids and gasses.
Then we made an tested a simple pneumatic system.
We added water to our system to make a hydraulic system which we had to bleed and test.
Mrs Sherard showed us a model bat whose mouth opened and closed with a simple pneumatic system.
We each got our own materials to design and make our own models.
These are Mrs Sherard’s examples we will post ours when they are fully designed.
