Archimedes’ Screw

In Science, the Owls are learning about Ancient Greek thinkers and how they have contributed to our modern understanding of science. On Wednesday, we learnt about how Archimedes invented the Archimedes’ Screw – a device that transports water from lower to higher ground. His ideas influenced the design of modern positive displacement pumps. The children made and tested their own Archimedes’ Screws.
