A MOVING EXPERIENCE!

Children at The Vale Primary School, Epsom enjoyed a day of science workshops on 20th March.  180 pupils were involved in investigating Forces through different activities: forces in the playground, pulleys, pneumatic monsters and water rockets.  Led by the SATRO team, the children applied their knowledge and skills by making working models.  This visual way of demonstrating how forces move objects is a great way to bring science to life; it also makes connections for the children with the world around them.  Pupils commented...
"I learned that science is used in many different jobs." 
I have learnt a lot more about science.  I really like it and really liked doing rockets.  It was AMAZING!!! "
Our sincere thanks go to Surrey County Councillor Chris Frost for fully funding this event.
