Floating and Sinking
Our second experiment of the day shocked us! We made our predictions that the egg would sink when put it in the water and when we tested our ideas we were right, it did sink.
Miss Mayer then gave us water with added salt. This tricked us and the egg floated at the top of the water!
we…
Science Day
To celebrate Science day we explored colour mixing by making rainbows. We have been very interested in rainbows as we are moving in to Spring and seeing different weather types.
We coloured our rainbows and added water to watch them grow!
Matching animal mothers to their young
Today in science and as part of our spring topic, the children have been looking at matching farm animal mothers to their offspring. We looked at animals such as cows, sheep, chickens and horses. They were able to name the animals and their young and match them up correctly.
Observational drawings of daffodils
We made observations of daffodils by looking closely at the different parts of the plant. We looked carefully at the shape of the petals, stem, leaves and flower and drew what we could see. We focused on each separate part of the plant and spoke about the types of lines we would draw, for example,…
A spring walk- spotting signs of spring
The children in reception went on a spring walk to see what signs of spring we could spot. We saw a birds nest, buds on the trees and daffodils. We then read our topic story outside called ‘busy spring nature wakes up’. The children really enjoyed using their senses to explore signs of spring and…
Let’s up the voltage!
Year 6 have been investigating what happens when we increase the voltage in a circuit.
Circuit diagrams!
This week in Science, we have started a brand new topic entitled ‘Electricity’. In our lesson this week, we looked at drawing circuit diagrams using the correct scientific symbols. We even experimented with circuit equipment we have in school to see if we could get a light bulb to light…
What colour is light?
Take a look at some of the amazing Science work produced by Y6 in Science this week. Y6 were tasked with researching light. Specifically, they were asked to research the question ‘What colour is light?’. They have presented their finding beautifully, drawing upon key scientists like Isaac…
Super Science Investigating!
Take a look at some super investigating we’ve been doing in Science recently! Yesterday, we investigated shadows, proving that shadows are a similar shape to the object that cast them! Today, we’ve learnt all about refraction and used water, straws and other objects to see how refraction creates…
Superb Science experiment!
This week in Science we have had a look at our experiment to analyse the rate of evaporation of different types of liquids at room temperature. We predicted that the beaker with the lid would have the most amount of evaporation because the lid would create more heat. However our experiment showed…
The wonderful water cycle!
This week in Science we explored the different stages of the water cycle and discussed the challenging question is the water we drink today the same water dinosaurs drank in the past!
Light investigation
Year 6 investigated what happens to their pupil when their eye is exposed to light.
