Kearoles and Karl made a tornado machine by connecting two plastic bottles and putting in some water and swirling it to create a tornado effect.

Jerome, Ryan and Patryk made a diorama of the solar system, while John, Sean and Evan displayed the equipment and methods of measuring density, mass and volume. Dean produced a top-class piece of animation via a laptop and projector. Kevin also showed a computerised display of selected car facts.

Daniel, Robbie and Wotjek produced a 3-D soccer pitch to show how a magnetic force can be used in a game. Nathan, Graham, Cormac and Michael used a glass prism, a battery operated spinner and spectrum or rainbow coloured disks to show how to make white light.
