As part of our forces topic in science this term, we investigated friction, using oil and jelly cubes. Each group was given pieces of jelly and they had to transfer them from one dish to another using chop sticks. After we covered the jelly in oil, we had to repeat...
The children created dichotomous keys to identify invertebrates in their science lesson today. They used Yes and no questions to sort the invertebrates. They then used their keys to identify the invertebrates. No tables were harmed during this science lesson.
Take a look at our scientific work to sort and describe the different properties of materials.
This afternoon, in year 5 science, we were learning about the force of water resistance. We learned that streamlined boats have less water resistance than flat boats, meaning they travel faster, so we thought we'd test this out. We had to think carefully about how to...
Today we were invertebrate hunting again. The children collected invertebrates in petri dishes to find finer details to classify the invertebrate. I think they really enjoyed it because I heard comments like, " This is so cool" and " I love this" which is music to my...
This week in Science, we have been thinking about suitable materials that could be used to make an umbrella. Children thought the materials would need to be waterproof and strong to keep you dry from the rain. We looked at paper umbrellas and discussed what might...
