Courier Summer 2021

Page 3 KEVICC British Science Week For KEVICC British Science week we had a photography competition that set out to capture an example of the science that is all around us. The winner was Hebe Pearson-Link. Her photo of ice crystal formation (right) was praised scientifically for capturing a fundamental physical process as liquids become solids as they cool. There was a clear view of all parts of the extended crystal so that you can see the unique patterns. Mr Moon also was impressed with the composition and lighting that allowed different colours from the surroundings to shine through. Capturing Science by Dr Ruffle Highly commended was Harry Beach’s composition of water in motion (left). A long exposure of flowing water, we liked the ideas of movement and energy that were captured in this image and Mr Moon was impressed with Harry’s technical skill. Highly commended also was Nina Chambers (right, although breaking the rules a bit by submitting five images in a collection!). We were impressed at her different treatments of the ideas about light and how it transfers energy. The variety of colours and intensities from different light sources was very well done indeed. #TheSchoolForTotnes
