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.

Last week, Year 6 performed our wonderful musical production for the parents and younger children in school. It was a play called Troy Story - it was about the Greeks and Trojans who were at war and had lots of drama.
As the academic year draws to a close, our Early Years students marked the occasion in the most joyful way possible, with Splash Day, a much-loved BISB tradition that brings together sunshine, water play, and the simple delight of being a child.
