Today NUSTEM visited Reception class to investigate robots and simple coding. Reception children all got a game and instructions sheet to bring home. More information about the game and other activities can be found on our Robot Coding STEM at home page.

This afternoon is was time for Year 4/5 to become mechanical engineers to investigate marble runs and forces. To create your own marble run or watch the chain reaction machine video again, visit out STEM at home Marble Runs page.

It is great to be back face to face in New Delaval! On Monday Year 6 became mechanical engineers and built marble runs and on Friday Year 4 are becoming mechanical engineers too. They investigated the forces used and tried to slow the marble down. Visit our NUSTEM at home marble run page to find out how to build a marble run at home using cardboard and tape.
