On the 10th January, our class went to the RDS for the Young Scientist Exhibition to check out the impressive Science projects and demonstrations.
First we went to the World of Robots show, where robots fought each other. There were lots of robots like R2D2, a Dalek from Dr.Who and a Creeper from Minecraft.
After that we went to the Super Cool Science Show where they were putting plasticine into liquid nitrogen. The plasticine became rock hard and then they smashed it into bits. They put a banana in it next and they used it as a hammer on a nail (it worked!). Finally, they mixed cocoa powder, cream and the liquid nitrogen to make ice cream.
Next we went to the 3D Space Show where we learned all about space, satellites, planets and stuff like that. We learnt that the sun isn’t the biggest star in the galaxy – it’s actually the one of the SMALLEST!
We then looked around and saw a place called M.O.D.U.L.E. where they had 3D printers and 3D Wood Carvers that were designed by computers and then made layer by layer.
We saw many projects about the environment, healthy eating and other science & biology things. They were all very clever and we enjoyed looking at every schools’ projects.
We all had a great time and these are some pictures from our day.
