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, the British International School Budapest campus came alive with colour, energy, and excitement as our youngest students took part in the annual Primary and Early Years Sports Day!
A huge congratulations to Lizanna (Year 4) and Laura Ivánka (Year 9) for an incredible week of achievements in science and innovation!
