What can you do when you are given a yellow, rubber, sticky chicken? Science of course!
Year 7 were given just that item and asked to develop an experiment to show something they have learned during their current topic about energy changes.
The clue that the chicken was stretchy gave them a head start, and many looked at how far it would travel when pulled to different lengths - thinking about how elastic potential energy would turn into kinetic energy.
Some also looked at how it stuck to different surfaces.
We did have a couple of injuries (of chickens!); one was stretched a little too far, and one made an escape over the atrium - see if you can spot them....
A lot of learning, and fun, was had by all.

BISB has been alive with excitement during this year's Humanities Week (3rd-7th), featuring an array of engaging activities across all year groups.
As part of the Humanities Week, the department was delighted to welcome some of the parents from the community who are industry experts, to share their experiences and professional trajectories with the Year 9s at Talking Business at BISB.
As part of Children's Dental Health Month, our school's kitchen, in collaboration with the school nurse, will host the first-ever Dental Health Day on February 11. The menu will feature foods that contribute to maintaining healthy teeth.
Our NAE Snowsports Expedition is well underway, and our 19 adventurous BISB students are making the most of their time on the slopes in Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland!
