This week we have being focusing on out STEM project. Here we are investigating how to use an elastic band to power a car. This included looking at the impact of weight and surface texture.
We really enjoyed getting outside today and using our Georgraphical knowledge to find different locations using coordinates. We drew different images to mark the locations!
In computing we explored variable coding using 'if' and 'then' functions to build our very own fairground ride prototypes. Our programming included a spinning motor (with an option to increase and decrease the speed) and multicoloured led lights (which flashed at diffent speeds depending upon the motor function). We've really enjoyed this topic and cand wait to code our own remote controlled cars next!
