Year 5 visit to The Science Museum

As enrichment in Science, Year 5 attended a workshop called 'Flash, Bang, Wallop!' which was jam-packed with thrilling experiments and demonstrations designed to help us find out about fire and explosions. We explored the Earth and Space gallery to learn about Man's historical journey to space and explored the new Technicians and Engineers galleries - exhibiting the various careers and skills required in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) related professions and shining a spotlight on female engineers. We also discovered how computing skills such as coding and special effects are used in the manufacturing industry and post-production in the media industry. The day sparked our enthusiasm for Science and aspirations for the future!
