Year 4 visit to The Science Museum

Year 4 visited The Science Museum as enrichment our ‘Adventures and Inventions' topic, learning more about the work of engineers and inventors including James Watt and his steam engine.

In the 'Making of the Modern World' exhibition, we were fascinated to see remarkable objects. We came face-to-face with the Apollo 10 command module, Babbage’s Difference Engine No.1, Crick and Watson’s DNA model and the first Apple computer. We also found many thought-provoking objects such as penicillin from Fleming’s laboratory, a porcelain bowl salvaged from Hiroshima and a clock that will tell the time for the next 10,000 years.

It was a brilliant day of discovery!
