Household waste recycling centres play a crucial role in properly recycling tricky items. This is where we bring old fridges, TVs, and sofas that no longer work or are damaged. These centres are bustling hubs, showing how much we care for our planet. What do you think Ellie will bring to recycle and discover during her visit?
Before things go to the recycling centre, we use them because they're made from specific materials for a reason. Forces always affect objects, and sound is all around us.
Research and Development (R&D) engineers are like inventors who create new things or make existing ones better. They design toys, faster computers, and sports gear. R&D engineers use their creativity and science skills to come up with ideas and test them to see if they work. They choose materials carefully to make sure their inventions are safe and strong.
Sound engineers can do wonderful things like making sure sounds in movies, music, and games are perfect. Imagine watching a movie and hearing voices, music, and rain sounds just right. Sound engineers use machines to make sure instruments and voices sound great together. They adjust volume and add cool effects like echoes at concerts to make sure everyone hears the music perfectly.
Mechanical engineers design and build machines that help us every day. They think about how things move, like cars, robots, and toys. Mechanical engineers use their knowledge of forces and math to design machines that can move, lift, and spin. For example, they design cars to go fast and be safe.
