Irreversible Changes
Class Three worked scientifically using heat to create irreversible changes. They looked at how different materials burned and recorded their observations.
Reversible changes
Children used heat to melt different items then allowed them to cool to see if they changed back to their original state.
How Do We Grow? A Tall Order for Our Young Scientists!
This week in Science, our EYFS and KS1 scientists put their measuring skills to the test as they investigated human growth! Armed with measuring tapes and teamwork, they set out to answer two big questions:
- Are children in the same year group all the same height?
- Do children grow taller as…
EYFS: Signs of Spring Hunt
Today, EYFS enjoyed going on a ‘signs of Spring’ walk around the school grounds. They looked high and low to find signs of Spring and were delighted to find birds, daffodils, a nest, flowers, green leaves on trees and some buds. Back in the classroom the children did some fantastic writing to…
Investigating materials
This afternoon we investigated the hardness of different materials using a scratch test.
Periscopes
We built our own periscopes and investigated their uses.
Botanist for a Day: Little Scientists in the Making
This week in our Science lesson, we traded in our usual classroom setting for the great outdoors in Forest School. The mission? To become botanists for the day! Equipped with magnifying glasses and identification charts, the children set off to study the hidden flowers in the forest.
The…
Reflecting light using mirrors
Our scientists spent time investigating how light travels, measuring the angles of the reflected ray against the incoming ray.
Experimenting with toothbrushes.
Our Science topic this half term is all about the different types of teeth we have and how we can look after them. Today we carried out an experiment to see if the hardness of a toothbrush affects the time it takes to clean our teeth.
We had lots of fun cleaning the dirty teeth and…
Light and Shadows
The class were investigating whether the distance between the object and wall impacted the size of the shadow
Wiggly Wonders: Our Wormery Adventure
Today in Science, Class One became worm experts! We learned all about micro habitats - tiny, special places where creatures like worms live. And where do worms live? Under the soil, of course!
Armed with trowels and a lot of excitement, we headed outside to our Forest School area to make a…
Investigating melting.
We have been investigating how the temperature of water affects how quickly solids melt. As part of our experiment we used thermometers to measure the temperature. We were so amazed that one of our ice cubes took 40 minutes to melt!
