This week’s STEM Enthuse Partnership, welcomed Southbourne A to Bourne Community College. The children followed a theme of rockets with propulsion starting in Science with Ms Perry. The children had to explain what a rocket was and it’s uses, understand the use of a thrust and how can this be made better. The children ended up in the sunshine, where they were exploding canisters to decide on the structure and direction the rocket would go. This led onto Maths with Ms Phillips understanding the concept of speed and acceleration with reactions timers, the theme continued with Mr Ellis, in Computer Science with the Engineering concepts of computer design and laser cutting. The children had to design a 2D rocket, this was then cut out as a keyring using the laser cutter.
