Hugh and Jacob have been working hard over the holidays!
Posted by: greg carroll in Junior Syndicate, Uncategorized, curriculum, generalHugh has been working on his Science Badge activities over the holidays. Hugh has taken up a strong technology based challenge around the topic of Toys. Hugh has built a fantastic lighthouse with a flashing light. Hugh was able to give an excellent explanation about how a circuit works. Hugh also built a toy boat that runs on a rubber band. This creation led to Hugh having an understanding of Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion – every action has an equal an opposite reaction!!!
He is able to explain how it all works and they are on display in the foyer along with the book he has produced explaining the work and especially the THINKING he has done to make it all work.
Jacob W knows all about meteorology. He built a wind vane and used it to record wind direction. Jacob can now identify cloud types and use that knowledge to help him predict the weather. He is also able to describe wind using the Beaufort Wind Strength scale.
Great work Hugh and Jacob, your brains must have been on fire!!

You’ve had a really busy term holiday Hugh, but I’m sure it has been lots of fun building the lighthouse and toy boat. Well done, keep up the good work.
