Science investigators

In science, we planned and set up an investigation to find out if temperature affects how fast towels dry. We talked about how we would ensure it was a fair test and which variables we would change and which we keep the same.

Fairytales Science!

To celebrate British Science Week, we have been investigating materials. We pretended to be the Big Bad Wolf to test the strength of different materials. We made predictions about which we thought would be the strongest materials. We then tried to blow away bricks, pom poms, chocolate, paper, wood…

Y5/6 Shadows

As part of our Science unit on Light, we learnt about shadows.  

We learnt that shadows are formed when an opaque object blocks a ray of light.  We aimed to show that a shadow can change size depending on the distance the object casting it is from the light source.  Shadows can also be…

Year 5/6 Science Reflection

In the science lesson this week, we stood a mirror up on a piece of white paper and we made a narrow slit in a piece of card. We dimmed the lights and shone a torch through the slit towards the mirror. We then drew both the rays of incidence and reflection. After that, we drew a dashed line where…
