Keith, a STEM scientist, came to work with Years 5 and 6 yesterday. The children in Year 6 children built catapults using lolly sticks and elastic bands and they looked at forces and propulsion.
The Year 5 children they were investigating aeronautical design, so they looked at air resistance and surface area, as well as the force of gravity.
We are very grateful to Keith for his time and expertise, thank you.
