Primary "Features"
Alien Planet Project
- A long-form open ended project that asks pupils to create an alien race and their local celestial environment. Pupils will consider issues such as the role that the strength of a planet's gravitational field plays in the morphology of its inhabitants; or how having two or more suns would affect an orbiting planet's orbit and environment.
Time Machine
- Is an open-ended problem-solving exercise designed for a double lesson. Pupils construct a Rube Goldberg machine to measure a period of one minute. Prizes are awarded to those pupils who come closest to 60 seconds.
