Here are the main science objectives that can be covered in a science workshop. Other objectives are covered and depend on the workshop chosen. These objectives are summarised in the workshop overview.
- recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
Although only one science target is directly covered by a JuniorSTEM science workshop, this is a difficult objective to teach without the correct equipment.
The children will gain an in depth understanding of how to transfer rotational force from one place to another, gear up and gear down using practical activities and investigations.
In addition your pupils will be covering computing and design technology skills, as well as being excited and inspired by the possibilities of STEM subjects.
