We have been investigating how to make a ball roll further. Yesterday we made predictions by making one change to our experiment. We all started with 4 books for our ramp to rest on. Then instead of 4 books we could change it to 8, put the ramp on the Read more…
For science we have been investigating how to make a ball roll further. We made predictions by making one change to the experiment. This is what we changed: using 5 books instead of 4 books, putting the ramp at the end of the books or using a chair instead of books. This Read more…
This afternoon we have been learning about using different scientific processes to separate materials. We used sieving, filtering and evaporation to separate a solution of gravel, sand, water and salt. We worked together in groups to decide which order we would separate the materials and what equipment we would need Read more…
This week we have linked our science to our history topic The Titanic. We had fun experimenting how boats float by making a plasticine boat: We have also had our first piece of history homework from Logan. So much effort and detail- well done:
Oaks had so much fun planting beans last week! We planted 2 types: runner beans and broad beans. They added soil into their plant pot and then popped their chosen bean into the soil and covered it up. They brought it home to water and look after. Whose beanstalk Read more…
This week in our Science lesson we have started an investigation – What do plants need to grow? We all planted a seed in some soil and decided that we need to water them every day. We have also put one of our planted pots in a cupboard to see Read more…
Year 5 have been busy planning and carrying out an experiment all about water resistance 😃
In Science we have been experimenting with different materials to see which block the most light effectively. We found out that a dark opaque material which doesn’t reflect much light was the most effective in blocking light. We then created a bedroom including different light sources and a variety of Read more…
After learning all term about electricity and reading our class book ‘The Iron Man’. We worked together as a class to create a robot – ‘The Iron Cat’. It was tricky to find all the pieces of Lego to make the robot but we were determined to complete it and Read more…
In Science lessons we have been investigating light and conducted an experiment to see how light reflects from both shiny and dull objects. We looked at objects in the dark, with a little bit of light and a tea light. We then evaluated and analysed our results to see which Read more…
