This term our Science topic is Circuits. We learnt the universal symbols to use for various components of circuits and drew these circuits including buzzers and motors. We then created these circuits and discussed what happens when we add more voltage using batteries. Our lessons so far have inspired us Read more…
Today we carried out the first experiment of our working scientifically topic. Our question is, “How do sugary drinks affect our teeth?” In order to answer our question, we planned an experiment using eggs to represent our teeth because teeth are made of calcium carbonate which is what eggshells are Read more…
Our learning journey for Science this term is all about Super Scientists! We have begun our science lessons by researching Isaac Newton and why he is famous. Last week we learnt that Isaac Newton discovered the theory of gravity and carried out our own experiment to investigate the effect gravity Read more…
We had lots of fun at the safari park and so a wide variety of animals!
Today, the children in Class 9 visited LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, Manchester for their end of year trip. We learnt all about gears and made spinning tops and launchers before enjoying the rides, 4D cinema and soft play. We also discovered how LEGO was made had lots of opportunities to test Read more…
We continued working scientifically this week by designing and carrying out a test to see which material would make the best heat insulator. We covered five beakers with different materials before filling them with boiling water. Using a thermometer, we then measured the temperature every five minutes to see which Read more…
In our topic ‘Working Scientifically’ this week we have been testing substances to investigate whether they have a chemical reaction. We found out that vinegar (acid) and bicarbonate of soda (alkali) react and form a gas because they are so different. The children worked in groups and enjoyed reporting their Read more…
As part of our new Science topic ‘Working Scientifically’ we looked at the ingredients we might use to make slime, predicted how it might go, experimented then reflected on our experiment. Some children decided they had put too much water in, some not enough and some were just right! We Read more…
On Tuesday, we carried out an investigation to find out the effects of sugary drinks on our teeth using eggs. Egg shells are made up of the same material as the enamel on our teeth – calcium carbonate. We left the eggs for 2 days to see what would happen. Read more…
This week in Science, we conducted an investigation to find out the effect of sugary drinks on our teeth. We did this using eggs because egg shells are made of the sameness material as the enamel on our teeth – calcium carbonate. We placed hard boiled eggs in 200ml of Read more…
