The Riverbank Science Club Showcase Their Work.<\/h2>\n

The Riverbank Science Club were keen to show off what they had been finding out about this term. Group meet weekly but alternate between in school activities and activities at Satrosphere. They are well looked after by Mrs Henderson and Miss Dezall.<\/p>\n

Two of the main activities were Tower Building and Alien Soup…my that sounds interesting though it may not be too tasty methinks!<\/p>\n

Tower Building<\/h3>\n

Using art straws and sellotape, teams had to work out which was the strongest shape \u2013 a rectangle or a triangle.\u00a0 They then had to use what they had learned to build the tallest but strongest tower that they could.\u00a0 The towers were put to the test at the end by Mrs Henderson and her hairdryer!\u00a0 The teams were surprised at how successful they had been in building towers that could not be blown away!<\/p>\n

Alien Soup<\/h3>\n

This term, Science Club members voted to learn about space.\u00a0 During this session, we followed a recipe to make Alien Soup out of sand, straws, paperclips and water \u2013 yum!\u00a0 Unfortunately, we read the recipe wrong.\u00a0 We had to use what we knew about separating materials to separate out all of the ingredients.\u00a0 It was messy but we managed it using filters, magnets and tweezers!<\/p>\n

Our young scientists are always so enthusiastic but how they could have thought Alien Soup should be on the menu, I just don’t know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
