A group of our students learned about energy during a fun-packed science show.
A group of our students learned about energy during a fun-packed science show.
The students went to see the Science Museum Live’s Energy Show when it visited the Derngate Theatre in Northampton at the end of last term.
The show featured two futuristic young scientists racing against time to prove their knowledge of energy, their digital sidekick i-nstein, fireballs, rockets and exploding hydrogen balloons.
Year 8 student Kara said: “The show included lots of bangs and was very dramatic – it was really amazing.
“We learned about a lot of things, including how different chemicals react with one another.
“There were lots of practical experiments and I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know before.
“It was really breath-taking and I enjoyed it.”
Year 7 student Lucy added: “The show was like a play and there were lots of facts in it about things like kinetic energy.
“The scientists in the show had a digital assistant called i-nstein on a screen who would explain what was happening in words that we could understand which I thought was really good.”
