4. So what is involved in the workshops?

5. Pupils will experience the highlights of the largest collection of RNLI Historic lifeboats in the country. Inspired by the inspirational story of Grace Darling, pupils will construct an electrical circuit to make their own lighthouse. Experimenting with mirrors and lenses, pupils will learn about the reflection and refraction of light as they endeavour to make their lighthouse as effective as possible. Shipwrecks and Rescues: Lighthouses in Action

6. Stimulated by the National Maritime Museum model collection, pupils work in groups to build a ship’s hull and fit it with a motor. Facing the challenge of the tow tank wind and wave machine, groups compete against each other in trials. They then evaluate their designs and developing technical knowledge of how a ship’s design impacts on its performance. Full Speed Ahead! Shipbuilding Challenge

7. Taking their inspiration from the Seacat missiles on board HMS Cavalier, The Historic Dockyard's own Destroyer, the pupils will work in teams to create rockets and fire them from our specially designed air pressure launcher, aiming to hit a target. Which team will sink the battleship? Ready, Aim, Fire: Rocket Launching

8. Food Children were asked to pick their dinner option which has been pre-ordered. Breakfast will be served in the Cabin stop and will consist of cereal and fruit juices. Children will need a packed lunch on the day of the trip. They will not need any other food or snacks!
