Year 5 Little Inventors Competition

20th March 2023 By lusher

Year 5 have been invited to take part in an invention challenge by Little Inventors in partnership with South Tyneside Council. Pupils have been given a worksheet which they can fill in and return to school by Thursday 30th March. We will then submit all entries together. Please note this in an optional task and there is no pressure for the children to submit an entry. Please see the following information for more details.

Little Inventors in partnership with South Tyneside Council and Dogger Bank Wind Farm are delighted to launch the Powering the Future: South Tyneside and Beyond!

Dogger Bank Wind Farm is in process of becoming the world’s largest offshore wind farm. It will be capable of powering 6 million British homes. The project will generate a vast source of renewable energy, harnessing the power of wind to provide sustainable energy and reducing the use of fossil fuels.

The Year 5 challenge is to invent something that creates renewable energy by harnessing power from movement. This will help us reduce the use of fossil fuels and prevent climate change! The energy of motion is called kinetic energy. This movement could be dancing, running, shivering, swaying, and so much more!

How about a battery that is powered from the movement of a dance-off? A pair of shoes that you walk in for a bit to generate energy, then they turn into mini hoverboards? How about harnessing the energy from a live orchestra or from bouncing on a pogo stick! Time to get moving and shaking, thinking and making!

See this PowerPoint for more information and ideas:
