Science Week
This week 4H, along with the rest of Year Four, are involved in Science Week.
Yesterday, the week was launched by Mr Brian Taylor, Head of Secondary Science, with a series of presentations on Magnets and Static Electricity. Here is a video clip of how to make a very simple motor.

Today, 4H began to investigate the mysterious crime of the missing computer by looking at teeth and the use of teeth marks in identifying a suspect. Below are links to some of the games and investigations that were used as part of this lesson. Some you can try at home, with your parents' permission!
