Thanks to Mr Wasson for accompanying S2 pupils at the Girls into Physics event @UofGlasgow! Pupils had the opportunity to take part in different Physics workshops!

Thanks to YSL pupils, Dan and Elliot, for leading Steam Club tonight! Making and testing boats in water.

Well Done to the YSL pupils today who ran the final sessions @EagleshamPS this morning. Building structures using K'Nex and testing parachutes!

P7 sessions @KirkhillPS on Friday included making slime/ice cream and building a giant tetrahedron! Some excellent skills on display. Well Done to all the YSLs involved!

Well Done to Umaima, Amna, Katie and Akshara who ran their two P7 events @MaidenhillERC yesterday! Some excellent Science skills on display! 👏

Our second P7 visit was @CalderwoodLodge yesterday with Maryum and Zaynab. Pupils thoroughly enjoyed making ice cream and slime! They also learnt about the YSL award. Well Done all!

Huge Well Done to all YSL pupils involved in the workshops this morning and thanks to @Mearns_Primary for having us!

Our final session, ran by Eva and Emma, required pupils to identify the different between 'real' and 'fake' slime by thinking of the difference in chemicals within each.

Session 4, ran by Umaima and Zahra, was making lava lamps and looking at the density of different liquids!

Session 2, run by Eunis and Jessica, required P7 pupils to problem solve and work together to build a structure using K'Nex that could maintain the weight of a water bottle! Some excellent communication and adaptability on display to think of solutions.

Our YSL pupils kicked off their 'Primary 7 Stem Event Week' @Mearns_Primary this morning running 5 different sessions! Session 1&2 involved first building parachutes (using a strict budget) before testing the safety with eggs. Well Done Shreyas, Leon, Murray and Arran. 👏

A great challenge at yesterday's Steam Club seeing who could build the tallest structure using just cocktail sticks and marshmallows! Well Done to Jessica and Eunis in S6 for leading the session!

Making lava lamps in Steam Club today!

Steam Club session yesterday consisted of making slime!! An excellent session run by YSLs Maryum and Zaynab! 👏

The first Steam Club session this term consisted of using chopsticks to see who could build the tallest tower/tetrahedron! Huge thanks 2 of our YSLs, Arran and Murray, for running the session! 👏

Tonight's Steam Club involved designing and building bridges using just paper and plastic straws! We then tested the strength of each bridge by dropping a 1kg weight on them! Some excellent creative designs!
