Science With Hamish
Last Friday we were lucky enough to have Hamish the head scientist at Nayland College come to show each syndicate some science experiments and tell us about them. All of the ingridients for the experiments were objects from around the house here is a photo.
Some of the experiments were fidget spinners, helicopters and bottle rocket our favorite one was the bottle rocket. We had somebody to get up and aim the tube up but he aimed wrong and it smashed one of the stars! The experiment in the picture is the paper helicopter He had to try a big and a small one. Hamish said it had to be a fair test or you would not be able to count that as a test. You can see a ramp on the table going down that was to test how different surfaces effected a toy car's distance travelled, again if we did not make it fair it would not count. We had him come in because our Science Fair is coming up so he gave us some tips and of course some experiment. We really enjoyed Hamish coming in to the syndicates and explaining the ideas of his we really hope he comes again to see us.
