Junior School
On Tuesday 27th March, Year 4 wrapped up their 'Sound' topic in science with a trip to Athens' very own science museum - Planet physics. They were shown around by very informative guides who showed and taught them about how sound is produced, transmitted and even seen via sound waves. In addition, pupils had many hands-on experiences where they produced and played with radio frequency waves using a Theremin machine.
Another fun aspect of their experience was listening to the guide's demonstration of how to change their voice. Using helium gas, he squeaked like a chipmunk and with sulfur hexafluoride gas he gave a pretty good imitation of the gravelly-voiced Darth Vader! Most amusing and quite impressive; the children were tickled pink!
