Physics

In this workshop, students learn about motion and how mechanisms are used to transform and transmit motion. Students will then use their creativity and imagination to design and build their own cardboard Automaton!

Explore through a hands-on activity how using technology and robotics can help tackle current environmental issues.

Create a paper butterfly and perform tests to see how the force of thrust, drag, gravity, the angle of attack and shape can affect how the paper butterfly flies.

Students make a paper rotor and experiment by adding extra weight to make the rotor more precise.

Learn about air resistance and experiment with paper spinners!

Learn how surface tension allow water striders to walk on water!

Test different materials to see whether they are able to build up static electricity.

Make a paper cup phone and learn how sound waves travel.

Explore the difference between opaque, transparent and translucent materials and create shadows.

Can you keep paper dry?

Learn how to balance a stick using the centre of mass!

Learn how the shape of a glider can influence the force of drag.

Students test the strength of different shaped paper cylinders.

In this activity, students will use blood spatter and physics principles to solve a crime.

Students compare hydraulic and pneumatic systems and create a hydraulic arm.
