World Science Day - 9th November
For World Science Day, we looked at Michaeal Faraday’s work.
In 1780’s, a biologist cut a frog’s leg. His steel scalpel touched a brass hook which made the leg twitch. They thought it was called animal electricity.
It wasn’t the frog’s leg but the two different metals.
In 1800, Volta developed the first battery using a pile of zinc and silver discs.
Michael Faraday, a British physicist, discovered that moving a magnet near copper produced an electric current. This led him to invent the Faraday disc which was the first electrical generator.
His idea was then used to invent the first wind turbine, by Charles Brush.
We made our own little wind turbine. Wind can be used to move blades and when connected to a generator can produce electricity.
Inside the generator is a magnet, the blades spin the magnet
Mount St. Mary's - 29th September

We had the most amazing time on residential at Robinwood! We completed lots of challenging activities, in which some us may of faced our fears. However we demonstrated how resilient, brave and determined we were to complete the challenge. Miss Caulfield and Miss Varlet are immensely proud of each and every one of you! Take a look at our Robinwood videos which summarises how much fun we had:
