Structures: Baby Bear's Chair
In Year 2, the children have been developing their skills from Year 1 and created a new stable chair for Baby Bear. The children used their scientific knowledge to identify which material would be best for Baby Bear. Take a look at their creative work. 
Mechanical Systems: Making a slingshot car
In Year 4, the children took on a challenge to make a moving car. The children had to first design their car and also identify where the wheels would be. To support their moving vehicle, they had to use a net and attach it to the chassis. It was a very fun and engaging project.
