DO NOT TOUCH! Year 4 Visit London's Science Museum

Children in 4N and 4L were filled with excitement about visiting the Science Museum on Wednesday.

We learned loads about energy, such as different ways to make it. For example, you can burn fossil fuels like gas, oil and coal, but these also pollute. Or ‘renewable’ ways are also possible, like solar (using the sun), hydro power (like wave power or dams) and wind (using giant windmills mainly along the coast of our island nation).

We also visited the museum’s ‘Launchpad’ area, where we had a go at ‘hands-on’ investigations. Many of the investigations involved forces, motion and electricity, which we’ve looked at in Year 4.

Here’s a short video of our experience,. Enjoy!
