Year 3 had a fantastic time in both their workshops, starting with finding out about forces and friction. Activities included fishing with magnets to attract certain metals and testing friction on different surfaces. The highlights of the day were seeing a real triceratops skull, handling some very old fossils and acting out the extinction of the dinosaurs. We learnt lots of interesting facts and would love to visit again!
Year 6 first started in the laboratory. We then looked at solids, liquids and gases. We mixed some baking soda and vinegar and created carbon dioxide to blow up a balloon. We also made our own slime by mixing PVA and Borax. We then made our way to the science garden and there were lots of activities to do with energy. After that we then went to the Lego room. There, we programmed a Lego robot to do many things like change colour, move about and many other things. We all had an amazing time at ThinkTank!
