Year 8 students have recently been looking at composite materials and their uses in real world applications.
They were set a challenge to build the strongest bricks using nothing but flour, water, and different types of pasta/cereal. They then tested their designs by hanging weights from their bricks. The designs were incredible and some were so strong Mr Spence had to go on the hunt for extra weights!
The students were very engaged and had a lot of fun designing, building, and testing their own composite materials!
