Curiosity Club Week 7

Clock Work Challenge

We worked in pairs to create a wind up toy. We used a cotton reel ,blue tack ,elastic bands , matchsticks and sellotape to make our toy. First we put an elastic band through the centre of a cotton reel. We then put half a matchstick through one end of the elastic band loop and taped it to the cotton reel. Then we wound the band up and watched our toy zoom. We had mixed success! If it fails then try again because it’s all about trial and error.

Thank-you to Mr Baines for running the club this week – we really enjoyed having you with us!
