Mytchett Primary Academy - Summer Term

Bricks Challenge
Students who are participating in Bricks Challenge will learn important theoretical and practical lessons.
Bricks Challenge introduces students to important scientists and inventors such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, Archimedes and more.


Each of these valued figures have played a significant role in the development of science and technology today.
We use their stories to inspire and educate our young engineers.

Bricks Challenge participants learn about many different topics of classical mechanics, including the following: the laws of physics, centrifugal force, centripetal force, force of inertia, kinetic energy, potential energy, law of action-reaction, lift force, torque, leverage points, load distribution, force conservation, angular momentum and more.

Students learn the necessary mathematical skills required in making the scientific calculations needed to build their models.
