Paper Wind Turbine

01st February 2011

Students made a wind turbine out of paper and card.

They then tested them using a hairdryer to see which was the most effective.

Students estimated the rotations per ten seconds to determine the blade optimal positioning.

Balloon Powered Hovercraft

28th January 2011

Students made a baloon powered hovercraft using the attached instructions.

We then tested them on different surfaces … including water (although it is a bit heavy to power across the surface, it does try!)

Boomerang

28th January 2011

Pupils made a boomerang to compare with paper planes.

Organ Jelly Molds

28th June 2010

The pupils drew organs from a torso onto foam. The foam was shaped so that it could be used as a mould. This was then vacuum-pressed into plastic. This was then used as a jelly mould using the appropriate colour of jelly e.g. heart=red, bone=gelatin with some yellow food colouring etc.
