Pupils impressed everyone during British Science Week with their brilliant boat‑building challenge, designing and constructing floating vessels that were creative, stable, and scientifically well‑thought‑out. Using materials such as foil, card, and straws, they applied ideas about buoyancy, density, and balance to test how much weight their boats could carry before sinking. Their teamwork, problem‑solving, and willingness to refine their designs after each test showed real scientific curiosity, and the final results were a fantastic celebration of their hard work and growing confidence as young engineers.
