Y4 Volcanoes
As part of our topic on Volcanoes Emma made a volcano at home then brought all the ingredients into school to make it explode! She used washing up liquid, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and red and yellow food colouring. We all waited in anticipation as as it ‘exploded’! Well done…
Is it waterproof?
Year 1 had a great time today testing to see if different materials were waterproof. We dropped water onto each material and discovered which absorbed the water the quickest and which was waterproof.
Y4 ice cube experiment
Year 4 have been learning about solid, liquids and gases. They had some ice cubes with gummy bears in and had to turn the ice into water to get the bear out to eat. We then heated some ice in the kettle to turn it into a gas.
Y6 Microorganism investigation
Today Year 6 carried out an investigation into how microorganisms spread. We had great fun using green paint to represent mucus and exploring the best ways to prevent spreading germs. We found out that washing with soap, warm water and drying carefully was the best way to stop microorganisms from…
Year 2 Science Investigation
Year 2 enjoyed being scientists. They were investigating different materials to find out if they are waterproof. Before they carried out the investigation, they planned what they were going to do and made predictions.
Y4 science experiment
Year 4 are finding out which drinks do the most damage to our teeth. We used eggs to act as the teeth and put them in jars with different drinks. We will leave them for a few days and see what happens. We predicted which drinks might do the most damage and the reasons given were, ‘coke because it…
Year 3 Science Workshop
Year 3 have been practising being super scientists in our Rocks Workshop. They enjoyed looking at the properties of rocks and fossils, testing the hardness of different types of rock and investigating if rocks float or sink. They are developing excellent prediction, observation and explanation…
Y4 Science
Y4 have been learning how long their intestines are. They learnt that they are 6.5m long and measured this length out.
Y4 Digestive System
Y4 have been learning about the human digestive system. We made a working model out of weetabix, coke, and tights to show how food passes through our body. There was much laughter and disgust at the end product!
Year 2 ‘Material Detectives’
Year 2 became ‘Material Detectives’ this afternoon during science. They enjoyed finding different objects made of different materials. They used lots of scientific vocabulary to describe the properties of the materials.
