Science Ambassadors
From Teachers TV, this video illustrates how three science and engineering professionals volunteer their time and expertise to work alongside teachers at Royal Kent school in Surrey. Organised through the SETPOINT charity, their aim is to introduce children to the world of engineering, raise attainment in science and technology and hopefully inspire some children to take up engineering as a career. For teachers, the visits throw up lots of ideas and inspires the children. For the children, the lessons are hands-on, informative and fun. Topics shown in the video include:
- Reflection and refraction experiments with year three
- Forces and movement - building, firing and testing water rockets with year six
- Making and racing land yachts with year four
