Science

15.1.26- we learnt about the digestive system and practically demonstrated each stage using food, a sandwich bag (stomach), and a pair of tights (intestines).

8.1.26- we have started our new topic learning about the digestive system. Today we learnt the names and functions of different teeth and made a clay model of our own teeth!

29.4.25- we have been learning about asexual reproduction in plants. We took cuttings of mint and parsley plants to observe over time how they grow into new plants.

1.4.25- Testing the level of water resistance against different shapes of clay.

Investigating irreversible changes in materials- we baked bread and discussed how the ingredients couldn't be returned to their original state as there had been a chemical change. We varied the amount of sugar used to test what effect this would have on the bread! 

Investigating thermal insulators- we tested out different materials to see which would make the best insulator for hot drinks. We measured the temperature of hot water over 20 minutes to find a pattern.

Working scientifically- we dropped different sized rocks into flour/cocoa powder to see how moon craters are formed. We measured the ejecta rays and depth of each creator, and recorded our results in a table.

We loved our trip to Lime Tree Planetarium to support our learning of the solar system!

We used balls to represent the planets and moved around the sun to demonstrate how the solar system works!

Kestrels presented their work on the solar system in small groups.
