Science you can push, lift and feel
Lesson 1Sea ExplorerBuoyant forceVolume
Push it down, and the water pushes it back up.
Lesson 4Lift MechanismLeverageMultiplication
Load near the pivot means much less effort.
Lesson 29Slow TrekkerMagnetic polesAttraction
Opposite poles pull together. Same poles push apart.

Based on the High-Ranker programme page at metarobotics.sg. Model photos, project screens and curriculum details come from the Young Makers, Young Robotics Coder and Young Computer Scientist videos. Other illustrations are original; speech bubbles are illustrative. The voice-over uses your device’s built-in speech voice, so it sounds a little different on each device.
