For the theme of this year’s British Science Week, we ran our own “Curiosity Competition”.
See our interview with Head of Science Mr Markar.
This was a competition for all year groups, from our youngest pupils in Pre Prep all the way to our Year 11 pupils at the top of our senior school. The brief was: “find something you are curious about and then explain how it works”.
The entries were amazing!
Winners
One of the standouts was a working model of engine pistons created by Will S in Year 9.
Our other winners were:
Bea T (Year 6) for her ‘Wizard of Oz’ themed tornado project;
Myka H-A (Year 6), whose model explained how fossils are made and the different stages of fossilisation,
and Frankie W (Year 7) for her working lung model
Well done to everyone who took part. It really was a wonderful event which highlighted all the fabulous opportunities in the world of STEM at Ballard.
