Interesting Investigation
Today we took our science lesson outside to investigate ‘Do people with longer femurs jumper further?’
We measured our femurs and jumped as far as we could to investigate if the length of the bone affected our ability to jump. Next lesson, we will analyse the results and come up with our…
What should they eat?
Today we enjoyed looking at different food labels to decide what certain people should eat. We learned that what people should eat depends on their age, size, level of exercise and gender. We then looked at what an athlete would need to eat. After deciding they needed carbohydrates for energy, we…
Skittles in Science
As part of our topic learning about the circulatory system, Year 6 used skittles and water to investigate how nutrients pass into our bloodstream from our digestive organs.
Superb Science!
This half term we have started our new topic in Science entitled ‘Animals including Humans’. In one of our lessons, we made model hearts using balloons, plastic cups, red food dye and straws! Although it got a little messy we had great fun learning all about the human heart!
Healthy hearts
Sharks creating model hearts using a plastic cup, balloon and water with red food colouring. Our favourite part was when the blood splurged out of the blood vessels (straws!)
Science
This week in Science we conducted two experiments to explore the function of the roots and the xylem within plants. The children had a lot of fun submerging their carrots in water as well observing the role of the xylem in transporting water and nutrients to the flower and leaves changing the…
Investigating Roots
Today Year 3 have been investigating roots, they have started an experiment where they will watch the roots of a carrot grow over time.
Exploring Parts of the Plant
Jellyfish and turtles explored our garden spotting key parts of the plants.
Sporty science
Year 6 investigated the impact of exercise upon our heart rates.
Investigating our heart rate!
How does exercise affect the heart? This was the question we investigated today! We started by taking our resting heart rate then began exercising for 2 minutes! We then recorded our heart rate straight after exercising and we saw a dramatic increase! We couldn’t believe how much our heart rate…
Super Science!
Year five Dolphins really enjoyed learning about changes that happen to us as we age. They asked many honest questions.
Wild flowers
In science, year one continued to learn more about plants, today we learnt that some plants are wild plants, which means they grow by themselves without any help from humans, how amazing! We investigated wild plants in our school and recorded our findings, we found lots of daisies, buttercups and…
