Irreversible changes

Pine have been investigating irreversible changes this morning. We planned an experiment to answer the question: Does the amount of vinegar affect the amount of new material (gas) created? We put different amounts of vinegar into 5 separate bottles. We filled 5 balloons with the same amount of bicarbonate of Read more

Thermal conductivity experiment!

In our science topic, we have been looking at properties and changes. Year 5 carried out an experiment to test thermal conductivity. The children had 4 cups per group and wrapped each one in a different material – aluminium foil, bubble wrap and newspaper. The children’s cups were then filled Read more

Conductivity

In Science today the children have carried out an experiment to determine the conductivity of different materials and link this to their uses. They wrote a detailed, organised method to follow, including variables, measurement, equipment and safety.

Building Things!

This half term during science lessons, we have been learning about materials and their properties to see which materials would make the best wall to use within a rainforest. The children have worked together to build the walls and we have then conducted experiments, first predicting which materials would be Read more

Year 2 took part in a Coding workshop focused on healthy eating. The children met a robot called Al who needed algorithms to help pack a healthy lunchbox. They also explored how to debug when mistakes occurred. The class asked thoughtful questions about Coding, such as why humans don’t just Read more

Properties of Materials: Hardness

During our science lesson today, Year 5 have started their new topic on materials and their properties. Today’s focus was hardness. The children were given a selection of items made from different types of material that they had to organise into groups depending on whether they thought they were a Read more
