Students in 3/4B have been studying a unit of learning called "Hot Stuff". In this unit they are learning all about heat. How a flame cannot burn without oxygen, how to make a fire with no firelighter and how heat can create power are all examples of what they have learnt.
To prove that heat can in fact create power was undertaken in an experiement where the students were given instructions and asked to create a simple solar motor. They made this motor from 6 empty cans painted black. Watch the video and Ashton will explain how this solar powered motor works.
