Young scientists are inspired at Greenfield

April 13th, 2021 Martin Walker Community 0 comments 0

Students at Greenfield Community College were inspired by Science recently as they experimented as part of British Science Week.

Staff and students showed amazing innovation as they took part in home ‘experiments’ for STEAM Scientist of the week (Science, Technology Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).

Each day an experiment was posted on our school Facebook page, @Greenfield, which could be carried out at home using ‘kitchen chemistry’ or craft materials.

These included making hot ice, investigating Epsom salts, making a water-wheel and even braving science to ferment food substances.

The students found out so much more about science as part of a ‘hands-on’ and valuable learning experience.

“Students were enthusiastic and submitted their photos to staff to be part of the competition,” said the school.

“The brilliant STEAM Scientist of the week was Callum who won a Science Museum Rocket Kit.

“Well done to everyone who has taken part and to families for their support, it has made science at Greenfield such a positive experience.”

STEM Club starts again at Greenfield Community College, on Tuesday, April 13. Year 7 students can meet on a Tuesday in SC6 and can find out more information from Science teachers at school.
