Science Challenge Winner

January 14, 2015
Congratulations to the winner of the weekly Science Challenge. This week's challenge began with an intriguing statement: "I can tie a knot in the wire tight enough to stop the electricity getting through?"

The question was:  "Can she? What would you say and why?"

The super scientist in Year 6 used her knowledge of electricity and conductors to provide an explanation as to why the above statement was incorrect.

"I saw the challenge in the corridor and thought it looked like fun. I didn't think I would win and I was really surprised when my name was called out in assembly. I won a Snickers and a certificate. I'm definitely going to keep doing the Science Challenge."
