Final Friday on March 31, Phineas Bates Elementary joined the Middle for STEM Training at Northeastern College to sort out engineering!

We started our day by studying all about engineering. This lead into our first exercise for the day – Reverse Egg Drop. Working in groups, the objective of this exercise was to construct a tool that an egg can safely land into. This connects to bio-engineering, the place the egg represents someone’s’ head, a vital a part of the physique to guard. The scholars watched because the eggs both land safely onto their machine or smash straight into the bottom.

After egg-citing exams of their egg catching gadgets, we headed onto our subsequent exercise – Catapults. College students discovered about the entire various kinds of catapults and what makes a catapult exact and correct. Utilizing this new discovered data, they put their minds to work, designing their very personal catapults. Their objective was to hit our targets, the place the extra correct they had been the extra factors they gained. Each crew created distinctive designs and put them to the take a look at. Essentially the most correct design ended up gaining 10 pts!

Thanks to Phineas Bates Elementary Faculty for visiting Northeastern College. We had been tremendous excited to have you ever right here and hope you discovered a ton about engineering!
