woodchurch science

really good website from nottingham university showing short video clips about each element. includes some of the rarer ones. unfortunately blocked in school but well worth a visit at home. thanks to mr rogers for the link.

here’s a load of resources for 8a. some are projectable for use in classrooms. this one is particularly good.

here’s a link to a few videos to watch whilst you are doing 7L solar system and beyond. scroll down and click the ‘download .wmv files.

the world’s most powerful physics experiment is ready to be powered up…today. there’s been a lot of interest in this over the last few weeks (not surprising really), and some scientists have been receiving death threats about the potential dangers, but now it’s almost ready to go and now 30 years after the idea was born scientists at cern are ready for the big switch on. the bbc has a good guide here, and if you thought particle physics was not something that you could ever rap about then this one has been doing the rounds for a week or so…

here’s a link to some free software that lets you travel the universe on your computer in three dimensions. unlike most planetarium software, celestia doesn’t confine you to the surface of the earth. you can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. very quick and easy to use…

here’s a load of revision resources for 7l (solar system and beyond). there are 16 resources available plus a load of projectable classroom activities for teachers to use.

apparently i would last 1 minute and 29 seconds. what about you? click here and find out!

10 year 9 pupils from woodchurch took part in this activity day at the discovery clc on 7th july 08. pupils were involved in three activities: a robot challenge, self-righting buoys and renewable energy driven cars. we came away with 2 trophies won in the robot challenge activity by lisa hill and jenny noonan. pupils were up against stiff competition from 5 other wirral schools; oldershaw, upton hall, birkenhead, south wirral and wirral grammar school for girls. well done to all who took part. team photo below.

there are four main theories: spin theory, capture theory, double planet theory and large impact theory. do some research using these links.
