P7/6 Tuesday 16th June - STEM Day

Good morning P7/6. Today will be our STEM day. I hope you enjoy some of the activities posted below. I really enjoyed animating my name on Scratch and I loved  Code Cracking. Remember to guess the small words first!

STEM Challenges

Technology – Scratch

Coding is just a set of instructions – if you write the instructions carefully and precisely then what can go wrong?  Try creating a game on Scratch.  No idea where to start – check out the ideas page!

I had a go at animating my name. The tutorial will guide you through step by step.

 

 

Science – Rainbow Chromatography

Did you know that ink in a black pen is not black!  Try to separate colours one at a time at first to see what happens and then use more than one colour to make a rainbow effect.
