Scott O’Hara, STEM Engagement Officer from the Science Skills Academy visited the school on Thursday 22nd February to undertake a workshop on ‘Energy’. The module focused on: ‘What is Energy – gaining an understanding of the different types of energy, how energy is generated and used in the home and how appliances can waste energy: Building a Battery – using cola battery cells, measuring the voltage generated and figuring out how big their battery would have to be to power a lightbulb: Circuits – pupils were challenged to build a circuit to create a number of appliances and experiment with the components to create their own appliances. Pupils were thoroughly engaged with the activities and our thanks go to Scott for a very informative and engaging workshop.
