It has been another year showing us the importance of the scientific process and the need for future scientists to tackle the next issue that we may face.
Science is all about innovation and working to create a better future for all. Year 7 students spent a week of science lessons designing and building an apple annihilator for the British Science Week 2021. All of the students engaged well, developed team spirit, shared their knowledge with their peers, and have learned a lot about Newton’s Law of Motion (Physics).
The science department at Knole Academy have been working hard showing students how science shapes future technologies from a visit by England’s first hydrogen bus, to building demolition machines in science week. Here are a few highlights from the Science department this year, written by some of the hard-working science team.
Mr Collins and Mrs McGauley came to judge the best three designs based on creativity, the number of glue sticks knocked over and stability. The students were extremely enthusiastic on the final day of the competition and participated really well with their models. Out of 10 designs from each Year 7 class the top 3 winners for Year 7 British Science Week 2021 at Knole were: 1st - Milly 7G3 (Rudolph) 2nd - Syed 7H1 (Khan) 3rd - Sofia and Phillipa - 7G4 (Rudolph) Well done to all of them who have participated in creating the apple annihilator.
