The Grange Junior School recently hosted a fun, informative and free Science and Technology workshop for young children from local communities. The School felt that, with such stimulating facilities and enthusiastic members of staff, they would open the doors on a Saturday to entice young scientists and designers in for a morning of hands-on experimentation and fun!
The popular workshop allowed the children the opportunity to learn more about Science and Technology, in Science they used chemical reactions to find the treasure inside a treasure chest and rescued treasure from quicksand using ideas about states of matter.
In the Technology session, the children learned how to make and launch paper cannon rockets and produced their own personalised gold coins using a 3D printer. Led by Science and Technology specialists from the Junior School it was a terrific opportunity for young children from the local community to learn more about Science and Technology in the school’s state-of-the art facilities.
