The Y5 ECO Sci Club researched making bioplastics and successfully made a bag from gelatine bioplastic. For a summary video of their project, see: https://youtu.be/oSl0ivN7yS8
The Y6 ECO Sci Club researched and optimized making their own beeswax food wraps, which could be used as an eco-friendly alternative to cling film. For a summary video of their project, see: https://youtu.be/eVzthTjZWDY
Each of these videos were submitted as entries in May to the Big STEM Challenge. Now that the competition’s closing date has passed, we thought that you would like to see the fantastic STEM work that our science clubs have undertaken.
We now have to wait to learn whether any of our projects are chosen to go forward to the Finals, which will take place at a Science Fair at Discovery Park in July this year.
