woodchurch science

mrs moulton recommends this site as a great resource for science videos and lectures. note that lots of the videos are shown via youtube and so are blocked at school. but there’s loads of biology, chemistry and physics stuff. well worth a look.

please contact mrs moulton if you want to get involved with this years robotics project. geoff (the robot) needs rebuilding!

woodchurch were one of nine schools across the country, who were selected as winners for the rolls-royce science prize for the years 2006-2007, and that was out of over 300 applications. we were given an immediate grant of £5000, to get our project ‘up and running’. with that money, we bought a 18 servo robot, called geoff, all the necessary tools and equipment to help create our robot, a laptop especially for robotics and with £1,500 of the money, we paid for all supply covering costs. in june of 2007, we find out whether or not we have won an extra £15,000 to expand and develop our project further, and to help facilitate our future needs. also if we win, we will have a day out with the red arrows, and we will also have a trip to the rolls-royce major factory, where they develop air-craft engines. You can get more information about the project here. you can also meet the team in their own video clip.

we need a photo of geoff!!

a fantastic resource for life sciences, with animations, quizzes, links to other sites etc. well worth a visit if you need more biology info.
