Richmond Scientific Society has made a donation of £500 towards equipment to help set up a Junior School Science Lab. Report as follows:
I would like to thank you so much for your grant that allowed us to purchase a significant amount of equipment for our STEM Hub. The equipment included: magnets and magnetic field frames, retort stands and their necessary fixings, masses, rechargeable stopwatches and a set of safety goggles. All of the equipment is in constant use, both in lessons to facilitate and enrich the delivery of the National Curriculum for Primary Science, and for extracurricular activities such as STEM Club. Through the use of this equipment, we have been able to both support and extend the children’s learning, particularly in respect of allowing them to choose appropriate equipment for their own investigations.
