Science and Engineering Challenge

Are you ready for a challenge?

The Smallpeice Trust have set  some challenges that involve science and engineering, for you to try at home.

Each challenge uses materials that you probably have in your recycling bin. They give you tips to make your project successful and the instructions are easy to follow. So what's stopping you? Have a go and perhaps challenge your family too. The instructions can be downloaded by clicking on the link below the image.

Make sure your adult knows what you are doing and agrees that it is safe.

This week's challenge, the wind powered lift.

Can you harness the power of the wind to make your lift work?
