Whitehill Junior School, Winners of the 2008 Ward Cup, presented by Professor David Bellamy

The winners of the Ward Cup competition for 7 to 11 year olds were Whitehill Junior School, of Hitchin, Hertfordshire with a Project called Wave power – in Hitchin. The Whitehill Junior Science and Engineering Club submitted a DVD and a most attractive book of photos. They explained that there had been a visit to the school by an environmental scientist who had assisted the children in making simple wave machines to help them understand how wave energy works. The children then planned and designed their very own wave power machine. The machine worked, and the team won the Express Yourself Physics Award 2008 as a result of their endeavours!
