BUDDING young scientists from Redditch and Studley put their knowledge to the test during a particle physics workshop.
The 24 Year 6 pupils from Birchensale Middle School, Walkwood CE Middle School and St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, in Studley, made models, comic strips and even acted out a short play.
They also discovered what happens when matter and anti-matter collide: annihilation.
The event, held at Birchensale Middle School in Bridley Moor Road, gave a sneak preview of science normally taught in high school.
The workshop was the first of many events organised by the newly formed Redditch and Bromsgrove Primary Science Partnership, which will run over the next few years, supported with funds and by the Ogden Trust, a charitable organisation that promotes the learning and teaching of physics.
An event spokesman said: "The aim of events like these is to enthuse the pupils about science and encourage them to continue studying these subjects as they get older and judging from the pupils comments after the session it was certainly a hit."
