4th December: Geology and Family Systems Engineering

Today Year 4 were geologists, observing and testing meteorites (rocks from space). To find out more about geology, click here.

After school, families became systems engineers. They designed, built, tested and improved marble runs until the marble rolled for as long as possible. Click here to find out more about systems engineers and to discover similar activities you can try out at home.

March 6: The Solar Physicist

This afternoon Luke and I have been working with New York’s Y5 children. We’ve used spectroscopes to look at the light from the sun, and explored ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR). If you’d like to find out more about our Sun and solar physics take a look out our page here.

Here are some IR pictures we took during the sessions.

23 Jan: Marine Engineering

This morning we’ve been working with Y4 at New York Primary School. We built over 20 boats that sailed their way across our water trough. You can see what we got up by checking out New York’s Twitter!

13th June: Medical Physics

We’ve been with Year 6 today learning all about applications of Physics in Medical care. You’ve seen X-rays, an infrared camera and a pulse oximeter. Can you remember what they all do?

 

Head over to the NUSTEM Medical Physics page to learn more.

 

 

3rd May: Bubbles

By blowing air through a straw into a dish of bubble fluid we could create a mountain of bubbles, boasting a rainbow of coloursWe’ve been in today blowing soap bubbles of all sizes with reception. All sizes, but not all shapes – and maybe you can describe why that’s the case?

See the NUSTEM Bubbles page for more things to do and explore.
